Tactical work on Friday. Late afternoon session on Saturday

Sampdoria were back at the training ground in Bogliasco on Friday morning to ramp up preparations for their home game against SPAL on Sunday.

After a meeting in the video room, the squad moved outside and began with tactical drills on pitch 1.

The Blucerchiati were then split into two groups: the players who featured most against Lecce focused on recovery while the others did training games and shooting practice.

Gonzalo Maroni had physiotherapy after picking up a knock in training on Thursday while Lorenzo Tonelli pushed on with his recovery programme.

The squad will next train on late Saturday afternoon.
