Gianluigi Buffon is ready to come out of international retirement for ItalyGianluigi Buffon is prepared to come out of international retirement if he is called up by Italy for the upcoming friendlies against England and Argentina. Buffon called time on his international career in November immediately after Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup in Russia, following a two-legged play-off defeat to Sweden. "I repeat, it's a way of showing loyalty and a sense of responsibility towards Italy. A new national team is being born and the first games are not comfortable ones because we will face Argentina and England. Italy will play Argentina in a friendly at the Etihad on March 23 before they travel to face England at Wembley on March 27.
