WORLD CUP: ITALY’S GOALKEEPER BUFFON HAS SLIPPED DISC

Centurion – Doctors are trying to treat Italian goalkeeper Buffon’s serious sciatica, diagnosed as caused by a slipped disc. “As we expected the pain is caused by a small slipped disc, confirmed by the MRI carried out this morning,” said the team’s doctor, Enrico Castellacci. “This is the diagnosis and the player will remain here with us for treatment. We will do everything possible to make sure he can play again in the World Cup but can promise nothing.” .
