Buffon to face Liverpool

Gianluigi Buffon is expected to start for Paris Saint-Germain against both Toulouse and Liverpool, according to L’Equipe.

The veteran Italian has so far been rotating in the role of goalkeeper with teammate Alphonse Areola.

Now that Buffon’s Champions League ban has expired and he played in the 1-1 draw with Napoli, he has surpassed Areola in the pecking order.

It’s reported Buffon will take the gloves both against Toulouse on Saturday in Ligue 1 and in the crucial Champions League showdown with Liverpool next Wednesday.

PSG have some concerns going into that game, as Neymar and Kylian Mbappé both returned from international duty with injuries.
