Buffon missed PSG’s Champions League opener against Liverpool due to a suspension in his previous Champions League match against Real Madrid while playing for Juventus. Unfortunately, the Italian custodian was on the bench for PSG’s other Champions League games against Red Star Belgrade and Napoli.
He played in PSG’s Ligue 1 game against Lille yesterday. However, the odds of him playing in Tuesday’s Champions League fixture against Red Star Belgrade are not so good.
