**Florence, Italy** – Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove is recovering well after collapsing on the pitch during Sunday’s match against Inter Milan, the club announced today. The 22-year-old, who suffered the incident just 16 minutes into the game, is now awake, alert, and oriented, breathing without assistance.
Following the frightening episode which led to the immediate suspension of the match, Bove was rushed to Careggi University Hospital. While initially under pharmacological sedation, he has since been extubated and has spoken with his family, Fiorentina’s management, coaching staff, and teammates.
Fiorentina released a statement on X, expressing gratitude to the hospital staff for their “wonderful humanity and professionalism” and thanking fans and the football community for their outpouring of support. Further tests are planned to determine the cause of Bove’s collapse.
Bove, on loan from AS Roma, has quickly become a key player for Fiorentina this season, notably scoring against his parent club in October. His rapid recovery is a welcome relief for the club and fans alike, who had been anxiously awaiting an update on his condition.
