The shot-stopper did not come out for the second half...

Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon may miss the Azzurri's next match against New Zealand on Sunday after the 32-year-old was substituted at half-time because of a back problem.
Team doctor Enrico Castelacci revealed after the match that Buffon aggravated his sciatic nerve, causing him to miss the second half of the encounter, according to reports collected by Goal.com.
Buffon reportedly felt something twinge in his leg prior to this evening's match against Paraguay, and advised the doctor. As a precautionary measure, the Juventus player was advised to stay in the dressing rooms during the interval.
The goalkeeper believes that he will be available for Sunday's clash against the All Whites, but Castelacci will await further scans before declaring the shot-stopper fit enough to play.
The Azzurri and Paraguay played out a 1-1 draw.
