A removable defibrillator was
implanted Tuesday under the skin of the chest of Edoardo Bove
after the 22-year-old Fiorentina and Italy Under-21 midfielder
collapsed 16 minutes into the first half of Fiorentina's home
game against Inter Milan on December 1, causing the match to be
called off.
Regarding the operation which is considered routine, the Viola
have not yet issued an official statement as it is still waiting
for all the necessary communications to take stock of the
situation.
The operation was carried out by the arrhythmology department of
Florence's Careggi hospital after the Viola player, who is on
loan from AS Roma, was rushed to hospital with chest pains and
spasms, having lost consciousness.
Fiorentina announced that, since it is a removable
defibrillator, Bove will be able to decide in the future whether
to keep it or remove it.
In the meantime, the countdown to his discharge from the
hospital has begun, which should take place between Thursday and
Saturday, and his teammates, along with Chairman Raffaele
Palladino, can't wait to "hug him at Viola Park," the Tuscan
club said.
There is also anticipation for the results of the numerous tests
carried out in recent days to try to understand the causes of
the problem that put his life in danger.
