Samp resume training ahead of Cagliari clash, Thorsby returns

Sampdoria were back at the Centro Sportivo Gloriano Mugnaini on Tuesday to ramp up their preparations for the trip to face Cagliari in Sardinia on Sunday (12:30 CEST kick-off).

The squad – which included Morten Thorsby, the first of the international contingent to return to Bogliasco – warmed up on Pitch 1 before focusing on technique and possession drills.

Julian Chabot, Mohamed Ihattaren, Ernesto Torregrossa and Valerio Verre then split off to work on their tailored programmes, while the rest of the players got stuck into fitness work and practice games.

Primavera players Matteo Esposito, Gerard Yepes Laut, Luca Polli and Marco Polli joined in with the first-team session.

Ronaldo Viera focused on his recovery plan in the gym and pool.

Samp have another session scheduled for Wednesday morning.
