It has been nearly three months since Edoardo Bove sent shockwaves through Florence when he collapsed on the pitch in the early stages of a match against Inter. Fortunately, a tragedy was averted, and Bove was fitted with a cardiac defibrillator. Due to regulations, the Italian midfielder will no longer be able to play in Serie A, but the most important thing is that he is safe and well.Moise Kean has collapsed on field after a head injury 🤕 Prayers up for Moise #Kean🤞🏽 pic.twitter.com/6rhWIQnzBZ— “𝗔 𝗡 𝗗 𝗔 𝗥” (@andarsofian) February 23, 2025 However, yesterday, another footballer gave the Renaissance city a scare. Moise Kean suffered an injury in Fiorentina’s match against Verona. He collided with an opponent, sustaining a head injury that required stitches, but returned to the pitch shortly afterward. Minutes later, however, he collapsed again, alarming everyone at the Bentegodi and across Florence. He was stretchered off the field with an oxygen mask and rushed to the hospital.Today, Fiorentina officially announced through their channels that the Italian forward, who has roots in the Ivory Coast, is in good condition, has been discharged from the hospital, and that all medical tests confirmed he is fine. First and foremost, Florence breathed a sigh of relief on a human level, and then from a footballing perspective. Despite suffering three consecutive defeats, fans at the Artemio Franchi still believe in their chances of securing a Champions League spot, which they are currently five points away from. They know that Kean is one of the key players in that pursuit, having been one of the best signings in Serie A this season, the league’s second-top scorer, and the author of 15 goals.Kean’s double sinks InterIt is worth remembering that Fiorentina signed Kean from Juventus last June for just 13 million euros. The Bianconeri retained the right to bonuses worth an additional 5 million. Initially, it seemed that Viola may have overpaid for a player who failed to score in 20 league appearances last season. However, the 24-year-old from Vercelli has proven to be an absolute bargain so far and Fiorentina will be looking to welcome him to the pitch as soon as possible.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 26Friday Lecce – Udinese 0-1 (0-1)/Lucca 32 pen/Saturday Parma – Bologna 2-0 (1-0)/Bonny 37 pen, Sohm 79/Venezia – Lazio 0-0Torino – Milan 2-1 (1-0)/Thiaw 5 og, Gineitis 76 – Reijnders 74/Inter – Genoa 1-0 (0-0)/Martinez 78/Sunday Como – Napoli 2-1 (1-1)/Rrahmani 7 og, Diao 77 – Raspadori 17/Verona – Fiorentina 1-0 (0-0)/Bernede 90+5/Empoli – Atalanta 0-5 (0-3)/Gyasi 27 og, Retegui 33, Lookman 43, 55, Zappacosta 74/Cagliari – Juventus 0-1 (0-1)/Vlahovic 12/Monday 22.45: (1.32) Roma (5.10) Monza (10.0)***odds are subject to change***
