A star recruit of the Como transfer window, Raphaël Varane has already been injured. Hit in the knee during the 32nd round of the Italian Cup against Sampdoria, the French defender left in the 23rd minute of what was his first match with the Italian club. A hard blow for his new coach, Cesc Fabregas. “It looks like he has injured himself. I feel sorry for him, he has suffered many injuries during his career. It looks like it is the knee but I can’t say anything more specifically, we have to check with the doctor first.”said the Spanish tactician.
The former vice-captain of the Blues surely imagined other debuts with his new club, while at the same time it was eliminated by the club of Genoa after the penalty shootout (1-1, 4-3 pen). The defender who passed by Real Madrid will therefore have to assess the seriousness of his injury which could compromise his start of the season and delay his first steps in Serie A.
