The Italian news agency "ANSA" revealed the health developments in the condition of Edoardo Bove, Fiorentina player, after he was transferred to the hospital after faiting during the Inter Milan match in the Italian League on Sunday evening. The source stated that the initial diagnosis came from the "Careggi" hospital after the player regained consciousness, after he suffered an epileptic seizure, which in turn caused a short cardiac arrest.
The 22-year-old former Roma player was bending down to fix his sports shoes when he suddenly collapsed near the touchline, causing panic among those present in the stadium.
Fiorentina midfielder Danilo Cataldi rushed to help his teammate Bove, preventing him from trying to bite his tongue and putting him in the recovery position before the medical staff could get there. The Italian League announced the postponement of the Fiorentina and Inter Milan match, which started at the "Artemio Franchi" stadium, to a date to be determined later.
The league said in its statement: "The match will not resume and has been postponed to a date to be determined, due to Bovi's collapse on the ground, where the situation appeared to be very serious."
