The 38-year-old captain of the Italian national team, who had a fever on Sunday, did not train on Monday, reports Efe.
It is not expected that Juventus icon Buffon will start against Ireland, as chief coach Antonio Conte can give a chance to Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu as Italy have already secured qualification for the pre-quarterfinals.
Meanwhile, midfielder Antonio Candreva, who suffered a right foot injury, continues his recovery plan so that he can play in the last 16 match on June 27.
