Double session on strengthening and tactics in Bogliasco today

Next up for Sampdoria is Sunday’s home game against Atalanta and preparations continue apace in Bogliasco, with a double training session at the Centro Sportivo Mugnaini today.

Bolstered by a few top prospects from the youth academy, the morning session comprised gym work and positional tactical drills in defence and attack. In the afternoon, the players focused on possession exercises before practice matches on a reduced pitch.

Lorenzo Tonelli concentrated on his personalised training programme, while Gianluca Caprari and Fabio Quagliarella had physiotherapy and pool work. Gaston Ramires and Junior Tavarez had a fitness and technique session outside. Finally, Edgar Barreto continues his return to fitness as well.
