Gianluigi Buffon Will Have Surgery On Sunday - Agent
The goalkeeper's agent has revealed surgery will take place on Sunday after it was cancelled on Wednesday...
Gianluigi Buffon's agent Silvano Martina has hinted the Juventus goalkeeper will undergo surgery on Sunday and claims the Italian will be out for six weeks.
Buffon was due to have surgery on his broken meniscus on Wednesday morning. However, reports claim it was postponed at the request of the club. The keeper is now expected to play against Bari this weeked, despite his injury. But his agent's comments conflict with what has been reported by Italian media.
Juventus have not confirmed the rescheduled operation date, but Martina believes it will happen on Sunday.
"I do not know if he will play against Bari, but I don't think he will," Martina told Calciomercato.it.
"It's not a serious injury, so he should be back on the pitch within five to six weeks."
