Drama in the Serie A hit
Florence ace collapses on the pitch! Match abandoned
Dramatic scenes shake soccer in Italy: in the 17th minute of the Serie A duel between Fiorentina and Inter Milan, Viola player Edoardo Bove suddenly collapsed without any outside influence!
Bove's collapse occurred during a stoppage in play, when a VAR check was to be carried out after an Inter goal was disallowed by referee Daniele Doveri. According to Sky Italia, the player was tying his shoelaces when he collapsed unconscious.
Play was immediately stopped and paramedics and team doctors rushed to the 22-year-old's aid. The players from both teams gathered around the unconscious Bove to protect him from prying eyes - some of them had tears in their eyes.
Bove is said to have regained consciousness
After a few minutes of first aid at the scene, the Fiorentina midfielder was finally taken by ambulance to Careggi Hospital near the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Little is known about his exact condition, but Bove is said to be breathing on his own and regained consciousness in hospital. According to initial cardiological and neurological tests, Bove is in a stable condition and no acute damage to his nervous system, heart or lung function has been detected.
The spectators in the stands of the stadium in Florence initially remained in their seats, although it soon became clear to most of them that the game could not continue under the circumstances. And indeed, after a short wait, the match was finally abandoned ...
"One of us, we're all with you. Forza Edo!"
After news of Bove's emergency broke, many Serie A clubs took to social media to express their condolences. "We are all with you, Edoardo", wrote record champions Juventus Turin on X. "All our thoughts are with you, Edoardo. Forza!", AC Milan announced. AS Roma, where Bove, a native of Rome, played in his childhood and youth before being loaned to Florence in the summer, wrote: "One of us, we are all with you. Forza Edo!"
In Italy, similar emergencies have often occurred in soccer stadiums in recent years. Fiorentina experienced a terrible incident in 2018 when captain Davide Astori died of a cardiac arrest in his hotel room in Udine shortly before an away match. Earlier this year, Joe Barone, Fiorentina's general director, suffered a fatal heart attack at the age of 57.
