Fiorentina Starlet Edoardo Bove Discharged from Hospital

Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove has reportedly left the Careggi hospital in Florence two weeks after being admitted in critical condition. According to Sky Sport via Calciomercato, the Roma loanee left the hospital on Friday afternoon after recovering from cardiac arrest.

Bove underwent surgery on December 10 for the implantation of the removable subcutaneous defibrillator. The subcutaneous defibrillator implanted is removable, and Bove will have the option to keep it or have it removed based on the results of future medical evaluations.

The 22-year-old collapsed on the pitch in a Serie A meeting between Fiorentina and Inter on December 1. Heart-stopping moments at Stadio Artemio Franchi sent shockwaves through the football community in Italy and abroad.

Quickly after being admitted to the hospital, the Fiorentina youngster spent a couple of days in the intensive care unit of Careggi before being transferred to the UTC. Thankfully, Bove has fully recovered and is ready to return to Viola Park to greet his teammates and manager, Raffaele Palladino.

However, Bove’s career in Serie A is over. He will no longer be allowed to compete in professional sports in Italy, mirroring the case of Christian Eriksen, who had to leave Inter in 2021.

The Fiorentina starlet must wait to receive comprehensive documentation from his tests, which will determine whether his myocarditis is genetic or inflammatory in origin, helping to assess the potential risks he might face moving forward.

As for Fiorentina, they’ll likely dive back into the market this winter to strengthen Palladino’s midfield options amid La Viola’s incredible season in Serie A.
