Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon recently underwent knee surgery and was expected to be out for a lengthy period of time, but it appears that the shot-stopper could be fit in time for the all-important game against Milan on January 10, according to Puntosport.net.

The heavy loss to Bayern Munich led to the postponement of the procedure, which the Bianconeri official website confirmed was a success.

Buffon’s lateral meniscus in the left knee was operated on and he was expected to be out until January 24, but his recovery has reportedly been quicker than expected.
