Double workout at the Mugnaini, recovery session for Budimir and Quagliarella

Marco Giampaolo’s Sampdoria squad were at the Centro Sportivo Gloriano Mugnaini for a double training session on Wednesday.

The day began with a video analysis session, after which the players were split up to work on strength exercises in the gym and tactical drills on the upper pitch.

In the afternoon, Giampaolo led the squad in a technical meeting, followed by a series of practice games.

Carlos Carbonero had a tailored session in the morning before joining up with his team-mates for part of the afternoon session. Ante Budimir and Fabio Quagliarella both had scheduled recovery sessions, while Emiliano Viviano worked through a programme of treatment, aerobic work and targeted strength exercises.

The Blucerchiati will be back at the training ground for an afternoon session on Thursday.
