Fiorentina's Edoardo Bove Rushed to Hospital After On-Field Collapse: Club Updates

Bove's sudden fall during Sunday's match led to his immediate transfer to the intensive care unit at Careggi hospital. This incident occurred just 16 minutes into the game, which had been without any goals before being halted due to the medical emergency.

Bove's fall reminded fans of tragic former captain Davide Astori, who in March 2018 died suddenly in his sleep aged 31 in a hotel before a league match at Udinese.

Worried supporters stayed in their seats at the Stadio Artemio Franchi long after the match had been stopped in the hope of positive news after having watched players from both sides and officials sob in shock.

However, initial tests carried out on Sunday evening ruled out any serious damage to his central nervous and the cardio-respiratory systems.
