This is very bad news for Raphaël Varane (31 years old), particularly unexpected. Recruited on a free by Cesc Fabregas’ Como this summer, the French defender is not on the list of players registered by his club to play in Serie A this season, like Victor Osimhen.
No official explanation has been given by the club but it seems that it is very different from that of the Nigerian from Naples. The knee problem that occurred during the only match played by the world champion with his new team on August 11 in the Italian Cup is said to be the cause. A starter that day, the former Mancunian was taken off after only 23 minutes of play. This injury could well be quite serious, to the point that Come is already considering terminating his contract, according to Sportmediaset.
