Juventus coach Conte drops Buffon

Juventus coach Antonio Conte is 'resting' Gigi Buffon for today's meeting with Hellas Verona.

Conte revealed a surprising change to the starting XI against Verona, as he will rotate the goalkeepers.

"I can confirm Marco Storari will start. It's a normal rotation that we also did last year. Buffon is coming from international duty and we have another four games in quick succession ahead of us, so together with him and the fitness coaches we decided to rest him.

"It's normal, as every win was down to the support of all the players. Everyone in this squad deserves to play for Juventus."
