Caprari and Chabot return to training in Bogliasco

Training was resumed in the late morning on Monday for the Sampdoria squad after the friendly against Monaco in Monte Carlo on Saturday and Eusebio Di Francesco’s decision to give the players the day off on Sunday. After the warm-up, the coach and his staff put the players through some technical and tactical drills on pitch two at the Mugnaini. They rounded off the session with a small-sided game which did not feature the Blucerchiati who were heavily involved in the match at Stade Louis II.

Gianluca Caprari, who performed sprint drills, and Julian Chabot made their return to Bogliasco, while Albin Ekdal had a tailored session in the gym (strengthening) and on the pitch (aerobic exercise).

Manolo Gabbiadini underwent treatment and specific recovery work for his left-thigh injury which will be assessed over the coming days.

The squad will train on Tuesday afternoon in what will be the penultimate session ahead of the friendly against Spezia at the Stadio Alberto Picco on Wednesday evening at 20:30 CEST.
