Juventus Barcelona Buffon goalJuventus will have Gianluigi Buffon in goal for the match against AC Milan despite recent concerns regarding his fitness.

The Bianconeri captain was on international duty for the Azzurri against Romania on Tuesday night but came off in the second half for Salvatore Sirigu, with some worried that he might have picked up a knock to his calf forcing him to be substituted.

According to Sky Sport Italia, though, the 37-year-old is not as seriously injured as first thought and will be able to start the match against Milan on Saturday night.

There is more good news for coach Massimiliano Allegri in the case of Mario Mandzukic, who has also completed a return to the squad after he injured his ankle while on duty with Croatia.

Juventus host the Rossoneri on Saturday in a battle between the sixth and seventh-placed teams in the Serie A table.
