The hours pass and Edoardo Bove’s situation seems more stabilized than ever. The 22-year-old midfielder tied his shoes before getting up and collapsing on the pitch at the Artemio Franchi stadium. The first good news quickly came, specifying that the player was now conscious and breathing normally without assistance. The meeting between Fiorentina and Inter Milan had been permanently suspended due to a medical emergency and postponed to a later date, also due to the state of shock of both teams with many players bursting into tears. This Sunday evening, Fiorentina published an official press release:

ACF Fiorentina and the Careggi University Hospital announce that footballer Edoardo Bove, rescued on the field following loss of consciousness during the Fiorentina – Inter competition, is currently under drug sedation in intensive care. The Viola footballer arrived hemodynamically stable in the emergency room and the first cardiological and neurological examinations ruled out acute damage to the central nervous system and cardio-respiratory system. Edoardo Bove will be re-evaluated in the next 24 hours“, was written in the missive published on the club’s website.
