Possession and mini-match in last session of the week

A depleted Sampdoria squad reported back to the training ground on Saturday morning for their final session of the week, minus the players away on international duty.

Working with the 14 first-team members available, Claudio Ranieri had the group carry out possession drills and play a mini-match.

Ernesto Torregrossa continued with his personalised recovery programme.

The team have the day off on Sunday but will be back in Bogliasco on Monday morning to begin preparations for their trip to AC Milan on Easter Saturday.
