Italian Footballer Edoardo Bove Leaves Intensive Care After On-Field Collapse

The 22-year-old Fiorentina midfielder is recovering and undergoing further tests after a suspected myocarditis diagnosis.

Edoardo Bove, a 22-year-old midfielder for Fiorentina, collapsed during a Serie A match against Inter Milan on Sunday and was rushed to the hospital.
After three days in intensive care, Bove has been moved to the coronary care unit at Careggi Hospital in Florence, with his condition reportedly improving.
Doctors suspect myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, as the cause of his collapse, but further tests are planned to confirm the diagnosis and determine next steps.
If Bove requires a defibrillator implant, Italian regulations may prevent him from continuing his professional football career in Serie A.
Fiorentina's players and fans showed their support for Bove during a Coppa Italia match against Empoli, displaying banners and choreographed tributes.
