Technique and tactics on Friday. Last session and press conference on Saturday

Sampdoria continued their preparations for Sunday’s visit of Roma amidst autumn climes in Bogliasco on Friday.

Under the watchful eye of sporting director Carlo Osti, Claudio Ranieri and his backroom team put the players through a morning session focusing on technical and tactical aspects, after some fitness work to start with.

All the available players took part, as did Primavera goalkeepers Lorenzo Avogadri and Lorenzo Boschini.

Karol Linetty and Andrea Seculin had physio and continued with their personalised recovery work.

The team will train again on Saturday morning, after which Ranieri will sit down with the media around 13:00 CEST to preview the match.
