Victim of a heart attack on the pitch of the Artemio-Franchi stadium last Sunday, Edoardo Bove finally gave his agreement to be fitted with a subcutaneous cardiac defibrillator as indicated in the Gazzetta dello Sportwhich confirms the information from the Republic. As a result, the Fiorentina player, on loan from Roma, probably played the last match of his Serie A career against Inter.
Indeed, if the implantation of this type of device has become very common in cardiology departments, this choice will not remain without consequences for the 22-year-old Italian. As a reminder, it is currently prohibited to play with a defibrillator in the Italian championship. An episode reminiscent of that experienced by Christian Eriksen. Under contract with Inter, the player – constrained by transalpine legislation – ended up leaving the club by mutual agreement with the Nerazzurri.
