Gym work and a mini-tournament on Wednesday

The Blucerchiati were back at the training ground on Wednesday for their second session of the week ahead of Saturday’s visit to Cagliari.

After spending some time analysing videos, the squad worked initially in the gym then moved out to pitch 1, where they were split up according to how much game time they’ve had recently, and a mini-tournament involving small-sided games was organised.

Keita Balde withdrew from the session early after feeling a twinge in his right thigh. He will undergo tests in the next 24 hours.

Manolo Gabbiadini meanwhile continued to train separately as he works his way back to match fitness.

The team’s next training session in Bogliasco is on Thursday morning.
