Buffon to start against Bari

The Italy international made his return from injury against Catania in the Coppa Italia in midweek.

“I can confirm Gigi will start, as he has fully recovered in physical terms and so I consider him ready to play,” Del Neri told the press.

“His recovery was actually much quicker than anyone expect and on Thursday he proved he was ready mentally as well.

“Of course nobody is happy when they don’t get to play, but Storari knows I have great faith in him and it was a difficult decision. He has done well so far, but we now have a world class goalkeeper.

“I certainly would not sell him, as I’ll inform the club that Juve need two goalkeepers to continue the project. It’s better to have one spare than two missing.”
