ROME,
March 27 (Xinhua) -- Italy's goalie Gianluigi Buffon will be starting for the
must-win clash against Scotland in their Euro 2008 qualifying stage.
Buffon showed no sign of difficulty as he took part
in a full training session at the San Nicola stadium and is set to start
Wednesday's match.
The Juventus keeper sat out Monday's work-out as a
precaution after being laid low by a stomach bug, forcing coach Roberto Donadoni
to call up Udinese's Morgan De Sanctis as cover.
World champions Italy are five points adrift of joint Group B leaders France and Scotland, but have a game in hand on their rivals.
