Double dose of training on Wednesday ahead of AC Milan. Thursday session behind closed doors

Sampdoria gathered at the Centro Sportivo Gloriano Mugnaini on Wednesday for a full day’s training with Saturday’s visit to AC Milan at the San Siro firmly in mind.

The morning programme saw the squad split into groups for a mix of indoor and outdoor work and video analysis, with some personalised exercises thrown in for good measure.

The Blucerchiati then focused on ball work in the afternoon. After some technical and tactical drills designed to improve team play, there was a high-intensity training match.

Away from the main group Emiliano Viviano had physio and did some gym work, Mattia Cassani followed an individual training schedule including some work on the field, and Joaquín Correa continued his recovery programme.

The players will report back to the training ground on Thursday morning for a session behind closed doors.
