Buffon out for three months after surgery
Italy and Juventus custodian Gianluigi Buffon has undergone back surgery and is expected to return after three months."I think between six and eight weeks will be needed for Buffon to begin rehabilitation and at least three months for him to return to playing," said Buffon's surgeon Maurizio Fornari.
"The surgery went very well and was needed to take the hernia in a less invasive manner in order to free the nerve that was suffering."
Buffon, 32, sustained that injury during Italy's opening game with Paraguay in the World Cup and was ruled out for the remainder of the tournament.
The Azzurri suffered without their talisman as they got dumped out of the group stage without scoring a single win.
