Match suspended at the Artemio Franchi stadium due to a medical emergency during Fiorentina-Inter.

In the 17th minute, Viola midfielder Edoardo Bove, who had just tied his shoes while the game was stopped, suddenly collapsed to the ground, unconscious. Moments of great anxiety and fear: the players of both teams, realizing what was happening, immediately called the attention of referee Doveri and surrounded the player - many in tears, their hands in their hair - waiting for the arrival of the rescuers.

Then Bove, former Roma player, 22 years old, was loaded into an ambulance and rushed to Careggi hospital . The players themselves then left the pitch, returning to the locker rooms, shocked, waiting for news. After a half-hour stop, the official announcement of the definitive postponement of the match arrived, with the fans who began to sadly leave the stadium.

From what we understand, already in the ambulance there were "signs of recovery" of the player, who then gradually regained consciousness, but who remains hospitalized.

The footballer, Fiorentina and the Careggi University Hospital Company said in a statement, "is currently under pharmacological sedation in intensive care. " Bove "arrived at the emergency room in stable hemodynamic conditions and the first cardiological and neurological tests performed have ruled out acute damage to the central nervous system and the cardio-respiratory system. He will be reevaluated in the next 24 hours ."
