With the Bianconeri having kicked off their Champions League campaign against Copenhagen on Wednesday, and three games to come in the next seven days, the 44-year-old believes that the time is right to give his skipper the weekend off.
Storari will be in goal tomorrow, Conte told reporters on Saturday. Buffon has played so many games and many more are awaiting him. It's a decision that I fully shared with Gigi.
Conte also revealed that Simone Pepe will not be involved in Verona either, with the winger still not fully recovered from his troublesome thigh injury.
