Juventus keeper Buffon to miss derby against Inter

Juventus expect to line up without Gianluigi Buffon when they face Inter in the Derby d'Italia on Saturday, Massimiliano Allegri has revealed.

Veteran goalkeeper Buffon - fourth in the Ballon d'Or vote on Thursday - missed the Champions League clash with Olympiacos on Tuesday due to a calf issue and is unlikely to be available when Juve take on the Serie A leaders.
