First session back at the Mugnaini. More of the same on Thursday

Glorious sunshine and a pristine pitch awaited the Blucerchiati when they came out for their first training session of the new season on Wednesday afternoon.

Marco Giampaolo eased his charges back into things with a warm-up followed by fitness work and technical drills.

On Thursday the squad will be put through another round of tests in groups in the morning before Giampaolo and the coaching staff – bolstered by the presence of Angelo Palombo – run another session on the pitch in the afternoon.
