Italy will be without captain and goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon for Saturday's Euro 2016 qualifying match against Bulgaria.
The Italian football association (FIGC) announced earlier today that the 37-year-old shot-stopper will miss the contest, with multiple reports suggesting that the iconic Juventus man is dealing with an illness.
As a result, Paris Saint-Germain 'keeper Salvatore Sirigu will get the nod for manager Antonio Conte, with Federico Marchetti serving as the backup.
