Technique and tactics at the Mugnaini, more training on Friday

Sampdoria were back in training at the Centro Sportivo Mugnaini on Thursday afternoon as they continue to put the hard yards in ahead of Sunday’s clash against Atalanta.

After kicking things off with a warm-up, the Blucerchiati – with six youth teamers in their ranks – worked through a series of technical and tactical exercises before bringing the session to a close with some practice games.

Niklas Moisander had a fitness session consisting partly of ball work, while the returning Lorenzo De Silvestri also had an individual session. Modibo Diakite, Carlos Carbonero and Jacopo Sala all continued working on their personalised training plans, but Christian Puggioni was absent again with flu.

Vincenzo Montella’s men will train again on Friday afternoon.
