Edoardo Bove is conscious and alert in hospital after his sudden collapse which caused Fiorentina’s match with Inter Milan to be called off, the Serie A club said on Monday.
In a statement, Fiorentina said that midfielder Bove “was awakened and extubated this morning. He is currently awake, alert and oriented” at Florence’s Careggi hospital.
“He has spoken with his family, club management, the coach and his teammates, who all rushed to go and see him as soon as they heard the good news,” added Fiorentina. “Further tests will be carried out in the coming days to establish what led to the critical situation that took place yesterday.”
Bove was rushed to the intensive care unit of the Careggi hospital following his sudden fall with 16 minutes played of Sunday’s fixture, which was goalless when it was stopped for the medical emergency.
