Juventus keeper Buffon not thinking about international retirement

Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon has no thoughts of international retirement.

Buffon could reach 136 caps with Italy next week, drawing him level with the country's record holder Fabio Cannavaro.

"If all goes well, it would be a great achievement," he stated. "However, it was predictable in a way given that I started with the national team at such a young age.

"It will certainly be nice though, satisfying, because I have been in the national side for 16 beautiful years - in the squad since 1997 and a first choice since 1998.

"Saying that, I've also had my injuries which raised doubts which I have been able to overcome."
