Marchetti for the last two group games anyway, then we'll see how Buffon is, no need to make him worse.

Dude! When Marchetti was named in this thread it was meant as a replacement for Gigi in Juventus. Not many care about the Azzurri, you know...

 

[JuveJay]

I know that, but it does affect Juventus as well

 

[JCK]

It only affects Juventus actually.

 

[Salvo]

mind games possibly?

It only affects Juventus actually.

If he has a recurrence of a long term back problem? I think not.

I heard it's a herniated disk.

Buffon suffered herniated disc
Wednesday 16 June, 2010
Italy have cause for optimism as a scan has shown that Gigi Buffon has a slightly herniated disc, which could rule him out for just two games.

Buffon complained of back pain during the warm-up before Italy's opening World Cup match against Paraguay on Monday night.

Federico Marchetti replaced him at half-time and looks certain to take the No 1 shirt for Italy's two remaining group matches against New Zealand and Slovakia.

According to ANSA, Italy's chief medic Enrico Castellacci took Buffon for a scan at Pretoria hospital this morning.

The scan revealed a herniated disc, which could result in Buffon being out for just two games.

However, that prognosis is the best-case scenario and as yet there is no concrete idea of when Buffon will be fit again.

He could miss 2 games , not a big deal . Because he will play on the Final match
Forza Buffon !

Seems it's serious. :sob:

We might as well move for Marchetti now.

Not necessarily Marchetti, but Juve certainly need to make sure they have a quality back up for Buffon, because I think folk are going to have to get used to Buffon being injured quite frequently.

I hope it's not as bad as they say.

Fuck Kaka.

These kind of injuries are always serious and very dangerous.

 

[The Curr]

I have read on a couple of other forums that this is the kind of injury that he may never fully recover from.

 

[Red]

I've read that they may have to amputate.

 

[The Curr]

I've read that they already have amputated and he's going to get a prosthetic leg fitted before the start of next season. Should still be better than Chimenti.

 

[Red]

His leg?

They've gone straight to the root of the problem and amputated his back.

 

[giovanotti]

Well, this injury (in a normal life far from football) can cause extra troubles and recovering process is damn long...I am not a club doctor but this is something which can least for a very long period.
Think that this injury is a pain in the ass for the keeper.

You must have better sources than me.

Still better than Chimenti.
