Buffon's back in training
Wednesday 17 December, 2008
Juventus will welcome back Azzurri goalkeeper Gigi Buffon in January as he has returned to training.
The former Parma hero has been out of action since September when he sustained a serious groin problem while suffering from a back complaint.
Austrian international Alex Manninger has impressed in Buffon's absence and the Old Lady have secured second place.
But the news that Buffon is ready for action will still be a huge boost to Claudio Ranieri.
Buffon took part in training along with the rest of his teammates today and showed no sign of an injury during the session.
However, there's less good news in the midfield as Claudio Marchisio has caught 'flu' and may be absent for the final game of 2008 against Atalanta.
