Fiorentina's Clash With Inter Milan Suspended After Edoardo Bove Collapse

Fiorentina's match with Inter Milan was abruptly suspended on Sunday after midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed on the ground. The Serie A confirmed to AFP that Bove was taken to the hospital in an ambulance, leaving players and fans in shock. The match, which was tied at 0-0, will be rescheduled for a later date. Reports from Sky Sport indicate that Bove, on loan from Roma, regained consciousness at Careggi hospital near Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi.

The players and officials, some of whom were openly sobbing, left the field after seeing the 22-year-old fall, reminding fans of former captain Davide Astori's sudden death in 2018.

Fiorentina suffered tragedy when defender Astori died in his sleep aged 31 in a hotel before a league match at Udinese.

In April, Roma's match at Udinese was suspended and rescheduled when defender Evan Ndicka collapsed with what was initially feared to be a heart attack.

Roma, who eventually won the fixture 2-1, later said that the 24-year-old Ivory Coast international had suffered a collapsed lung, with no cardiac issues detected.
