Edoardo Bove Discharged from Hospital Following On-Field Collapse
Italian footballer Edoardo Bove, a midfielder for Fiorentina, has been discharged from the hospital just days after collapsing during a match against Inter Milan on December 1, where he suffered a cardiac arrest.
A Positive Recovery
Bove, aged 22, left the Careggi Hospital in Florence on Friday after spending nearly a week under medical observation. Reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport indicate that Bove is expected to visit his Fiorentina teammates soon to update them on his recovery progress.
Earlier this week, the midfielder underwent surgery to implant a temporary subcutaneous defibrillator, a critical step in stabilizing his health following the incident.
Uncertainty Over His Football Future
Bove's return to professional football depends on his long-term health. If his condition stabilizes and he no longer requires a permanent defibrillator, a comeback is possible. However, Italian regulations prevent players with fixed cardiac devices from competing in Serie A, as seen in the case of Christian Eriksen, who had to continue his career outside of Italy after a similar event.Bove, cedido por la Roma al Fiorentina, ha recibido numerosas muestras de apoyo de compañeros, clubes y aficionados desde el trágico suceso.
On loan from AS Roma, Bove has received an outpouring of support from teammates, clubs, and fans worldwide since his collapse.
The incident occurred in the 17th minute of Fiorentina's match against Inter Milan. Thanks to the swift action of medical personnel, Bove was stabilized on the field and rushed to the hospital, where he began his journey to recovery.
