Thursday training minus the international contingent. Barreto and Dodo work separately

Samp continued training with a depleted squad on Thursday afternoon as Joachim Andersen, Bartosz Bereszynski, Dawid Kownacki, Titas Krapikas and Karol Linetty remain away on international duty.

Primavera youngsters Giacomo Piccardo and Andrea Tessiore made up the numbers as the Blucerchiati were put through technical and technical drills before finishing with some training games on the top pitch at the Mugnaini.

Meanwhile Dodo Pires continued his rehabilitation work and Edgar Barreto had treatment and physiotherapy. Daniel Pavlovic was granted the day off.

The squad will reassemble in Bogliasco for another double session on Friday.
