Raphael Varane, who has announced his retirement from football after a knee injury, had joined Serie A side Como as a free agent this summer from Manchester United.
But the 31-year-old central defender played just 20 minutes for the club in a Coppa Italia match before being substituted off.
The former France international — who was part of the 2018 World Cup-winning team — left United at the end of his contract after making 95 appearances in three seasons.
Varane is perhaps best known for his spell at Real Madrid where he played 360 times across 10 seasons.
He had signed a two-year deal with Como with the option of a further season.
