Defender Emerson Palmieri was excused from the worst of it - as he continues his rehabilitation from a knee injury - but the Brazilian was the first man at the training ground in the morning as he spoke to Roma TV about his ongoing recovery.
“I have to think about recovering well, at 110%," he said. "Now we can focus on that, because this is pre-season. When Serie A and the Champions League starts I will begin thinking about when I can come back.
"I have already thought when that day might be: in fact I have been thinking about that date since May 29, the day of the surgery."

Then it was down to hard work for the group, as they completed two sessions with focus on defensive and attacking principles - gearing things up ahead of Friday's second and final training session of the camp.
The social round-up
What was said?
Alisson Becker was the player to visit the media centre on Thursday afternoon, while coach Eusebio Di Francesco was a special guest in Madonna di Campiglio later in the evening as he held an audience for fans.
“You're always a little nervy at the start but I'm not afraid. My time has come: it's what I wanted to do last season and wasn't able to. I'll do my very best for Roma.”

“I think only a coach that brings success is suitable for Roma. I understand that, as I’ve been here myself. I’ve clearly come here with the objective of winning, if we play good football as well that will be ideal.”
