Florence, Italy – Fiorentina’s Edoardo Bove is “awake and alert” after losing consciousness during the abandoned Serie A match against Spezia on Sunday, the club has confirmed.
The midfielder collapsed on the pitch just before half-time, and the match was immediately stopped as medical staff rushed to his aid. Bove was given oxygen and stretchered off the field, before being taken to a local hospital.
There were initial concerns over Bove’s condition, as he was unconscious for several minutes. However, Fiorentina have since released a statement saying that the 21-year-old is now “awake and alert”.
“Edoardo Bove is awake and alert,” the club said in a statement. “He is currently undergoing further tests in hospital, but his condition is not a cause for concern.”
The match between Fiorentina and Spezia was abandoned after Bove’s collapse. The two teams were level at 0-0 at the time of the incident, and the result will now be decided by a Serie A disciplinary committee.
Fiorentina are expected to appeal the decision to abandon the match, as they believe they were denied a fair chance to win the game. However, the Serie A disciplinary committee is likely to uphold the decision, as the safety of the players is paramount.
There has been an outpouring of support for Bove from the football community since his collapse. Many players and clubs have sent messages of support to the midfielder, and a number of fans have gathered outside the hospital where he is being treated.
“Our thoughts are with Edoardo Bove and his family at this difficult time,” said Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Italiano. “We are all relieved to hear that he is awake and alert, and we wish him a speedy recovery.”
Bove’s collapse is a reminder of the importance of player safety in football. The game is a physical one, and there is always a risk of injury. However, it is important to ensure that players are protected as much as possible.
The Serie A disciplinary committee will need to consider all of the factors involved in Bove’s collapse when making their decision on the match result. However, the most important thing is that the midfielder is now awake and alert, and that he is on the road to recovery.
