Day off on Thursday for Blucerchiati in Ponte di Legno

After their first defeat of pre-season against Feralpisalo, Sampdoria went out for dinner together on a team-building exercise.

Marco Giampaolo has also granted his players a rest day following the hard work put in over the last few days.

Players carrying injuries or wanting to put in an extra session can show up at the training ground in Temu, but work officially gets back under way on Friday morning.
