Double workout to kick-start the week

The lads were back in Bogliasco on Monday to kick off another week of pre-season preparations with a double session.

Minus seven internationals – Kristoffer Askildsen, Vid Belec, Bartosz Bereszynski, Mikkel Damsgaard, Albin Ekdal, Jakub Jankto and Morten Thorsby – the squad began the day with a gym programme followed by exercises out on the pitch.

In the afternoon – amidst driving rain – Claudio Ranieri had the Blucerchiati focus on ball work, with tactical drills and high-tempo training matches the order of the day.

The team will be back on Tuesday for a single training session in the morning.
