Veteran Egypt goalkeeper Essam El-Hadary feels 'heartbroken' over Gianluigi Buffon, who missed out on the 2018 World Cup with Italy.
The Italian legend has retired from the national team after the Azzuri failed to beat Sweden in their play-off on Monday night.
And Hadary, 44, who will be returning to the global stage with the Pharaohs, says the goalkeepers will be playing for the football iconic figure.
"All the goalkeepers in the World Cup will be playing for you, legend."he tweeted.
