On Sunday, December 1, Fiorentina’s Serie A match against Inter Milan witnessed distressing scenes when a player named Edoardo Bove, Fiorentina midfielder collapsed on the field. The incident occurred just 16 minutes into the game with the scorecard yet to be opened by either team at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence, APA reports citing Sports Tiger.
However, the match was abandoned shortly afterward with the Fiorentina midfielder being rushed to the hospital for further treatment. Although, Bove’s teammates immediately called in for medical help, both team players surrounded the 22-year-old before he was stretched off and referred to Careggi Hospital in Florence.
According to the joint statement released by the football club and the hospital, “Initial cardiological and neurological tests have ruled out severe damage to his central nervous and the cardio-respiratory systems.” They also revealed that he is under intensive care and the 22-year-old’s condition will be reassessed “in the next 24 hours”.
Note that this is not the first incident of the year in Serie A. Earlier in April, Roma defender Evan Ndicka collapsed on the field during his side’s match against Udinese.
