Buffon probably out until December

Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon will need longer to recover from his leg injury than initially expected.

Instead of just a few weeks, Buffon will probably be out until early December as result of a muscle injury in his right upper leg. This was revealed on Friday.

The keeper will need at least four weeks to recover from the injury, followed by another three weeks to get his shape back on par.

Juventus teammate Mauro Camoranesi meanwhile, should be ready to participate in training next week after recovering faster than expected from a thigh injury.
