Juventus's Buffon ruled out of derby vs. Torino with shoulder injury
Reuters
Juventus has been dealt a significant blow ahead of their highly-anticipated derby match against city rivals Torino.
The defending Italian champions will be without stalwart goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon for the first time this season, as a reported shoulder injury will force the Bianconeri captain to miss his first minutes of the campaign Sunday.
Marco Storari will be between the posts in Buffon's stead as Juventus looks to extend their lead atop the Serie A table to six points over an idle Roma, who take on Inter later in the day.
