Como are set to announce the former Manchester United defender will miss a month - so their opening three Serie A games, says TMW.
At the time, Como coach Cesc Fabregas said: "I'm sorry about this injury, because Raphael has already had several problems and didn't need it. He needed to play, to put minutes into his legs.
"So it's right to do it when there are opportunity, there's no point in waiting."
