Samp continue derby preparations, pre-match conference on Saturday

With just two days to go until the Derby della Lanterna, Vincenzo Montella took his Blucerchiati squad to the upper pitch in Bogliasco on Friday afternoon for a series of technical and tactical drills and a minimatch.

Youngsters Andrea Bacigalupo, Lorenzo Dotto, Leonardo Serinelli and Giacomo Vironi were invited to join in with the first-team squad, while Niklas Moisander and Fernando both trained separately. Carlos Carbonero is still in Barcelona working on his own recovery from injury.

Samp will train again on Saturday morning, with Montella holding his pre-match press conference at 15:00 CEST.
