The player, on loan from Roma to Fiorentina, was evacuated and all the players and officials returned to the locker room. The two teams were then tied 0-0.
Under sedation
Fiorentina said Bove, 22, was sedated in the intensive care unit of Florence's Careggi hospital, where he arrived in a “stable” condition. “The first cardiological and neurological examinations made it possible to exclude serious lesions of the central nervous system and the cardio-respiratory system,” added the club in a joint press release with the hospital.
The Italian League then announced in a press release that the match was definitively stopped and would be rescheduled to “a date still undetermined”.
This unease has revived at Fiorentina the painful memory of the death of former captain Davide Astori in 2018, who died in his sleep at the age of 31 before a championship match against Udinese.
