**Florence, Italy** – Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove is recovering well after his sudden collapse during Sunday’s Serie A match against Inter Milan, the club announced Monday. Bove, who fell to the ground 16 minutes into the game, was rushed to Careggi hospital in Florence and admitted to the intensive care unit.
Initial tests ruled out serious damage to his central nervous and cardio-respiratory systems. Monday morning brought positive news: Bove is awake, alert, and oriented. He has spoken with his family, Fiorentina management, the coaching staff, and his teammates, who visited him upon hearing the good news.
The incident, which led to the immediate suspension of the match, caused considerable concern amongst fans, recalling the tragic death of former Fiorentina captain Davide Astori in 2018. While initial fears were high, the club expressed relief at Bove’s improved condition. Further tests are planned to determine the cause of the collapse.
Serie A will hold a meeting to reschedule the suspended match, with Italian media suggesting a February date is likely.
