    Today is a special day for Gianluigi Buffon: exactly twenty years ago to the day, the Azzurri legend made his Serie A debut for Parma against Milan.

    The Rossoneri will face Buffon's side once more this weekend, with Juventus welcoming AC Milan to Turin for a key Matchday 13 clash.

    Even better, the World Cup winner be there himself, after doubts had emerged on Wednesday after he sustained a flexor injury. According to Sky Sport, however, the Juventus goalkeeper won't skip Saturday evening's clash, something he's had to do a few times over the past few seasons.

    Marco Storari had to sub in for him the Old Lady's 2-1 away win in 2010, only a few months after Alex Manninger couldn't stop Milan from scoring three close-range goals in an embarassing 3-0 rout at the Stadio Olimpico. The Austrian also participated in Juventus' 4-2 victory over Milan in 2008.

    Mario Mandzukic, however, is still in doubt, having sustained an ankle injury during international duty with Croatia. The next few hours should provide us with more information.
