Agent defends Buffon over claims of Juventus snub

The agent of Gigi Buffon has hit back at criticism over the goalkeeper's decision to skip Juventus' team photo last week.

Even coach Gigi del Neri has expressed his disappointment.

But agent Silvana Martino insists: "Gigi is one of the most decent people that we have - and not just in football. Buffon is recovering from a serious accident, is working 5-6 hours a day, everything is going well, and decided to focus only on this, and follow Juventus at home.

"It seems strange because everyone, since he lives in Turin, could also see what has happened to him ...".
