Double session at sunny Bogliasco, afternoon training on Friday

Marco Giampaolo’s Sampdoria squad had a double training session at the Centro Sportivo Mugnaini in Bogliasco on Thursday afternoon.

With ten internationals away, and Edgar Barreto busy focusing on his personal recovery plan, the squad focused on technique drills and fitness work in the morning followed by tactics after lunch.

Sixteen Samp academy products took part in the afternoon session – Bruno Amado, Luigi Aquino, Bubacar Balde, Goncalo Cabral, Armelo Doda, Yassin Ejjaki, Joao Gomes Ricciulli, Gergely Hutvagner, Bozo Mikulic, Alex Pastor, Lamine Sakho, Francesco Scotti, Andrea Tessiore, Ivan Vujcic, Jamie Yayi Mpie and Marco Zucca – while Jacopo Sala was also fit enough to get involved.

Samp will train again on Friday afternoon.
