Gianluigi Buffon To Recover In Time For Milan Match
Reports suggest the custodian's recovery from recent surgery is going better than expected.
Dec 19, 2009 5:44:41 AM
Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon could make a full recovery from knee surgery in time for the crunch match against Milan on January 10.
Buffon, who went under the knife on Sunday to cure a long-term meniscus problem, is making rapid progression with the rate of his recovery thus far, leading to reports he may be back in time to guard the goal against the Rossoneri.
Puntosport.net claims the custodian has been recovering well as he follows a specific rehabilitation program. Clubs medics are said to be happy with Buffon and his estimated recovery time, which was set for January 24 against Roma, could be slashed by two weeks. It is said the operation on Sunday was easier than expected and it lasted just 15 minutes, giving the impression that the problem was less serious.
On Thursday Buffon said his recovery was "going good" and that Alex Manninger "would handle things well".
