The Italian Edoardo Bove, a 22-year-old Fiorentina player who collapsed unconscious this Sunday during a Serie A match against Inter, had a good evolution last night and was extubated after almost 13 hours. The player is awake, conscious while answering questions, according to @FabrizioRomano. Furthermore, as reported The Republic Edoardo Bove has no brain or heart damage.
A day after the scare that took all of Italian football, in the transalpine country there is speculation about the cause of Bove’s collapse. The player collided minutes before his collapse with the Dutchman Denzel Dumfries and went to the bench to change his shirt, already visibly affected.
It all happened in just a few minutes. From the collision with Dumfries to his loss of consciousness there were almost no plays
The play in question, the blow to the torso that he suffered a few minutes before collapsing, could have been the cause that caused him to go into cardiorespiratory arrest a few minutes later at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence.
There, on the bench, while putting on the new shirt, he already commented that he was dizzy to the coaching staff, according to local media reports this Monday. It all happened in just a few minutes. From the collision with Dumfries to his loss of consciousness there were almost no plays.
It was the 17th minute of the game when Inter scored a goal. The Argentine Lautaro Martínez took advantage of a long pass from Dumfries himself and shot to score the first goal of the duel. However, the referee annulled the goal to check whether the ball had gone out on the wing in Dumfries’ pass.
While some protested to validate the goal and others to annul it, Bove crouched down to try to recover from his dizziness. At first it seemed like he was tying his shoelaces, but a video on social media revealed that he was trying to gain strength.
He stood up, still with the game stopped, and took two steps before falling unconscious in front of the Inter bench. Dumfries and Calhanoglu quickly caught on. Especially because they saw how their coach, Simone Inzaghi, rushed from the bench onto the field to help and slipped along the way.
Danilo Cataldi, Fiore player, tried to prevent him from suffocating on his own tongue
Danilo Cataldi, a ‘Fiore’ player, tried to prevent him from suffocating on his own tongue and, seconds later, medical assistance from both teams and those from the stadium arrived to take control of the situation. There, players and coaching staff formed a circle. Only a few ran out in search of the ambulance, anxiously asking it to enter the field.
Per protocol, the ambulance waited on the corner closest to the exit. All the necessary material was perfectly displayed next to the affected person. After 5 minutes, once the first aid was completed, the vehicle left for the Careggia University Hospital in Florence.
The match was suspended immediately, with the players’ faces expressing their concern and the majority of Fiorentina in tears.
The Artemio Franchi Stadium was silent, but no one moved. The fans were living another new nightmare. They remembered what happened with their captain Davide Astori, in 2018, and, more recently, with their manager Joe Barone. Neither case, although both related to heart attacks, happened in the countryside.
