APPIANO GENTILE – Another 90 minutes of training for Inter as they prepare for their league game against Cagliari in Trieste. At the start of the session there were three separate groups for the warm-up and aerobic work, before Andrea Stramaccioni brought the group back together for a series of tactical and technical drills and short games which were interspersed with more aerobic work led by Stefano Rapetti.
As they are both suspended for Saturday's game, Julio Cesar and Lucio underwent personalised programmes to maintain their fitness, while for Maicon and Wesley Sneijder it was individual sessions including recovery work. Ricardo Alvarez - having trained with the group yesterday - had a personal light session in the gym and swimming pool. Joel Obi had an individual session, while Ivan Ramiro Cordoba spent the first part of the session with the group, before spending the second in the gym with a personalised programme.
Luc Castaignos and Lorenzo Crisetig are with the Primavera for today's league clash against Padova, at the Centro Sportivo Giacinto Facchetti. Meanwhile Samuele Longo (attacker, born 1992) and Ivica Ivusic (goalkeeper, born 1995) trained with the first team.
Tomorrow morning, once again at the Centro Sportivo Angelo Moratti, the third training session of the week and – beginning at 13:30 – a press conference with Fredy Guarin, live on Inter Channel and inter.it.
