Buffon Unconcerned About Injury

Buffon Unconcerned About Injury

Juventus goalkeeper Gianliugi Buffon is confident that the injury he sustained against Cagliari today is nothing too serious.

Juventus beat bottom of the table Cagliari 1-0 thanks to a goal from Carvalho Amauri.

However, while the Juve faithful will be happy with the three points, a worrying footnote from the game was the substitution of goalkeeper Buffon due to injury.

The keeper is in high spirits however, and is not showing any signs of worry concerning the injury to his right thigh.

“I felt something like a pin when I kicked out the ball. I asked for the substitution and waited until half time," he said.

"I asked for the substitution and waited until half-time.

"I don’t believe that it is anything serious - at the most I’ll be out for a week - but seeing the saves that Manningher made I can remain calm."

An injury to the world-class goalkeeper would be a major blow for the Bianconeri and the Italian national side, and scans will be used to reveal the full extent of the injury.
