Italian Goal Keeper and Juventus Star, Gianluigi Buffon, had a Surgery
In the FIFA World Cup 2006, the Italian defence was backed up by their amazing goalkeeper Buffon who was expected to play in this FIFA World Cup to make his team a part of the final stages; but sadly, he could not be a part of the last
FIFA World Cup because of his injury.
Buffon came with the Italian squad to this FIFA World Cup 2010, to be a part of the Italian’s mighty defence, as always. But, sadly, he suffered a back injury right after the 45th minute, and the Italians drew the match 1-1
with Paraguay. Nobody was sure what had happened to him back then but now the club’s website www.juventus.com, later revealed that he was suffering from a herniated disc.
It was expected that he would undergo a surgery as all the experts were talking about it but soon after the knock he suffered against Paraguay, the next morning, the medical experts told the press that 32 year old goalkeeper had to go
through a surgery to be fit for his training. Therefore, he could not be a part of the Italian team in the rest of the group stage matches being unable to carry his national duty. Eventually the Italians got eliminated, even though they were the defending
champions of the tournament.
The Italians lost the last match against Slovakia, and their substitute goalkeeper was inable to impress the Italian fans, and conceded 3 goals in a single match. Buffon’s dreams were shattered as he could not be a part of his last World
Cup and had to go home along with other players to get operated in Casa di Cura La Madonnina. There medical experts operated him to make him perfect for training for Juventus.
However, the surgery has already been performed but the total diagnosis, results and the recovery time of the shot-stopper would be revealed on Monday. For now, Juventus has called upon the former Milan goalkeeper Marco Storari, to replace
him but Buffon is expected to be back by January.
Although the Italian has suffered from a terrible injury, and could not help his country advance to the next round, but the 32 year old is experienced enough to take all that and will be back to perform for his club Juventus.
