Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has confirmed he will be returning to the Bianconeri line-up, dismissing the rumours linking him with a move away from the side.
Buffon would like to return prior to Christmas, but knows he still needs time to train and improve.
"I am back in training and things are going very well," the shot-stopper told SkySport24. "We are ahead of schedule by a week or so, which is good.
"I think I will be back in January, but whether it is at the start or end, I am uncertain. It will depend on my condition, as it takes time.
"I will remain at Juve. I think the kind words by [sporting director Giuseppe] Marotta show how highly he regards me.
"I am also certain that we have the ability to play to win the Scudetto. It is an objective of the club, coach and the players want to reach," he concluded.
More calls have emerged from the defence team at the Calciopoli 2 trial in Naples, and a number of transcripted phonecalls concerning Milan will be presented when the court hearing resumes on Tuesday.
As part of a batch of 300 hundred calls to be aquired by the court next week, one shows former Milan aide to referees Leandro Meani reminding the club to give referees watches.
The latest evidence, like so many other calls, were left out in 2006, but they are now part of the criminal trial at the tribunal of Naples.
An extract from this particular call involves Meani and Milan chief Adriano Galliani's secretary at the time known as signora Mary.
The call was for Galliani, but he left it to the secretary who often responded on his behalf. An extract of the call, as published by Tuttosport reads:
Meani: "I wanted to gift the referees that will come tomorrow the usual watches, but some of them have already received them, and so the stock room could give me trouble."
Signora Mary: "Tell them to send it to me and I will sign it off to authorise it."
The call is key to growing evidence at the trial which was left out during original investigations in 2006.
Back then, former referee Massimo De Santis was accused of having obtained a load of Juventus shirts to give to family and friends.
The trial will resume on Tuesday in which Luciano Moggi's defence team are expected to hand over the 300 calls including that of Meani.
