Spa wind-down followed by tactics on Wednesday

After four training sessions in two days, Marco Giampaolo decided to ease the workload on his troops on Wednesday by giving them a single training session, which took place in the afternoon.

In the morning, the team relaxed in the spa at their hotel in Ponte di Legno before they hit the training ground after lunch for a session which focused heavily on tactics.

Taking it all in from the sidelines was Italian coach Serse Cosmi, as well as a group of Samp Camp kids.

Matias Silvestre had a light training session as a precautionary measure while Nicola Murru continued his return to full fitness with some work on the pitch and Emiliano Viviano pushed on with his own rehabilitation programme.

It will be noses back to the grindstone on Thursday when the Blucerchiati will be put through another double session.
