Samp in two groups on return to training ahead of Sassuolo trip

Sampdoria were back in training on Tuesday as they kicked off their preparations for Sunday’s trip to Sassuolo.

After a quick hello from president Massimo Ferrero, a session in the video analysis room and a full-squad warm-up, Eusebio Di Francesco split the Blucerchiati up into two groups.

Those involved for all or most of the game against Lazio had a recovery session on the pitch, while the rest of the squad focused on strength, technique drills, tactics exercises and a minimatch with the Primavera squad.

Karol Linetty was granted leave from training to spend time with his new baby daughter and partner.

Gonzalo Maroni continued to focus on his recovery programme.

Doria will have another double session on Wednesday.
