Italy goalkeeping legend Gianluigi Buffon confirmed yesterday he is ready to come out of international retirement if he is called up for friendlies against England and Argentina. Buffon called time on his international career after Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup in Russia. But Italy interim national coach Luigi Di Biagio said on Monday he was ready to recall Buffon for friendlies against Argentina and England on March 23 and 27. "I had thought about going on holiday for a few days with my family, but when the national team needs you, you must be present and not desert them," Buffon said.
