Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove has kept all of Italy on edge in recent days after a distressing incident during a match against Inter. Bove collapsed on the field, requiring immediate medical attention. He was promptly transferred to a cardiology clinic in Florence. Initial reports were optimistic, with Bove even addressing his teammates via video link to wish them luck ahead of their Coppa Italia match against Empoli. However, the continuation of his football career, though secondary to his health, remains uncertain.Gruesome scenes as Mourinho’s protegee collapsed on the fieldThe medical team, led by Professor Pasquale Bernardo, has decided to implant a defibrillator in Bove. While this is a routine surgical procedure, it will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the 22-year-old’s career trajectory. Strict Italian regulations prohibit players with implanted defibrillators from competing at a professional level. A similar situation forced Christian Eriksen to continue his career abroad following his cardiac arrest during the 2021 European Championship.Eduardo Bove’s Serie A Career Is OverDue to Serie A rules, Bove will not be able to play in the league with a defibrillator, which he will get next week thru surgery, much like what happened to Eriksen after he suffered a cardiac arrest#Bettitude°Follow us for more news pic.twitter.com/vyzaDyako3— Bettitude (@bettitude) December 7, 2024 According to Gazzetta, Bove has been fully briefed on his situation and has accepted the outcome with remarkable maturity for someone his age.
