The latest news from Fiorentina on Edoardo Bove, victim of discomfort

During the Fiorentina-Inter match, a huge scare struck 22-year-old Edoardo Bove, who collapsed in the 17th minute, causing panic at the Artemio Franchi stadium. The players, upset, provided first aid while waiting for the late arrival of the medical staff. In tears, teammates and opponents formed a protective circle around him, encouraging the rapid intervention of emergency services. Transported unconscious to Careggi hospital, he was treated urgently, in particular to free his airways.

Serious injuries excluded

According to Sky Italia and the Ansa agency, Bove regained consciousness and quickly breathed independently. He reportedly suffered an epileptic seizure accompanied by cardiac arrest, an episode which led to the match being suspended. Fiorentina in turn gives news of the player this Sunday evening. “ACF Fiorentina and the Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria di Careggi inform that the player Edoardo Bove, treated on the field after losing consciousness during the Fiorentina – Inter match, is currently under pharmacological sedation and hospitalized in intensive care.
