Andersen still training alone as Parma trip looms

The Blucerchiati were met by grey skies when they hit the training pitch in Bogliasco on Friday morning to continue preparations for Sunday’s visit to Parma.

After some individual work on injury prevention and a warm-up, the squad were guided through tactical drills and set-piece practice, with nine academy lads drafted in to make up the numbers.

Joachim Andersen, who missed the game against Lazio with a thigh complaint, trained separately again as he works his way back to fitness but remains a doubt for the Stadio Tardini.

The team will train once more on Saturday morning, after which Marco Giampaolo will sit down with the media at 12:45 CEST to discuss the Parma match.
