The Italian Edoardo Bove, Fiorentina player who went into cardiorespiratory arrest on Sunday, during a match against Inter Milan, will be discharged next week, just after having a defibrillator implanted which will prevent him from continuing his career in Italy.
The 22-year-old midfielder, who belongs to Roma but is on loan at ‘Fiore’, is improving as the hours pass and has not been admitted to the general intensive care unit of the Careggi Hospital in Florence (north), while he went to a lower severity level and now resides on the cardiological intensive care floor.
After 6 days of tests, controls and care, Bove approved the implantation of a defibrillator subcutaneous tissue that would allow him to continue his career as a footballer, but not in Italy because the country’s sports medical regulations, included in the “Cardiological protocols for the evaluation of fitness for competitive sport”, are it is not seen that a footballer with this device can play in Serie A.
After the operation, which is scheduled for this Monday, according to local media, Bove will pass maximum two days under observation and then released.
He revealed it as well as his companion Dodò, the Fiorentina winger confirmed in a Twitch live that this week he Bove’s visit to ‘Viola Park’ was planned, the sports city of the club. The Brazilian broke 5 days of complete silence from Fiorentina, who have not released any medical reports or updated the player’s situation since Monday.
Once the device is implanted, which corrects any possible arrhythmia with small electrical shocks, Roma and Bove have to reach a termination agreement of the contract, as Inter Milan did with the Dane Christian Eriksen when he suffered a similar case at Euro 2020.
