Was expected. He will feature in the Coppa match vs Catania.
Besides it would be fitting if Manny's last match was against his old team before he gave way to Buffon.

Buffon out of Lazio trip
Saturday 17 January, 2009
Gianluigi Buffon has added to Juventus' injury crisis after coming down with flu, so he is not even in the squad for Sunday night's Lazio clash.

The goalkeeper was set to make his Serie A comeback after three months, as he played in the Coppa Italia win over Catania midweek.

However, Buffon is suffering from a bout of flu and is not making the trip to Rome for tomorrow evening's encounter.

This means Alex Manninger will again take on the gloves to fill in for the World Cup winner.

Juventus are also without Giorgio Chiellini, Mauro Camoranesi, Hasan Salihamidzic, Jonathan Zebina, Dario Knezevic, David Trezeguet and the suspended Zdenek Grygera.

Manny is alright, but the only reason we won last year's match in Rome was because Buffon was in goal (and DP's finishing).

It's just frustrating that he keeps missing those games, I just hope we manage to pull through this particular game.

its enough we are missing Chiellini and Grygera is suspended...now Buffon, just when we finally get him back. I am beginning to wonder if we will ever be at full strength for at least one game this season.
