French defender Raphael Varane made his debut for Como in the first round of the Italian Cup against Sampdoria.
The new season started poorly for the 31-year-old. In the 23rd minute of the game, Varane was forced to leave the field due to injury. Fabregas' men failed to overcome the first round of the Cup, losing to Sampdoria (1-1, penalties 3-4).
"Yes, it's an injury. I feel very sorry for Rafael, he has suffered many injuries in his career. He seems to have injured his knee, but I can't say anything specific right now - we have to consult with the doctors first," Tuttomercatoweb quoted Fabregas as saying.
