Fitness and technical work as build-up to Inter begins in earnest

Sampdoria kicked off the week leading up to the game against Inter with a 90-minute session on Tuesday.

Doria’s first game back following the Covid-19 outbreak – their rescheduled Week 25 fixture – is at the Stadio San Siro on Sunday evening (21:45 CET).

Claudio Ranieri and the coaching staff had the players begin with aerobic work and strength exercises on pitch 2, followed by a series of technical and possession drills on pitch 1.

Fabio Quagliarella did personalised work in the gym and on the pitch while Alex Ferrari continued with his rehabilitation programme.

The team’s next training session is scheduled for Wednesday morning.
