Edoardo Bove is reportedly nearing his return to professional football, roughly four months after a concerning collapse during a match. The AS Roma midfielder, who was on loan at Fiorentina at the time, is expected to resume playing, although it will likely be for a club outside Italy.
The incident occurred 17 minutes into the Serie A fixture against Inter at the Stadio Franchi on February 6, when Bove suddenly fell to the ground.
His heart briefly stopped but restarted before he was taken to a nearby hospital.
Medical evaluations revealed an undiagnosed cardiac condition, leading to the implantation of a cardiac defibrillator, similar to the device given to Christian Eriksen following his collapse in 2021.
Potential Career Continuation for Bove
Sources like Sky Sport Italia indicate that medical tests confirm Bove`s full recovery. He is expected to be cleared to play again starting next season.
While some final tests are still pending, the 23-year-old is optimistic about continuing his career very soon.
Due to Italy`s strict regulations regarding players with cardiac conditions and implanted defibrillators – which notably led to Eriksen`s departure from Inter – it is anticipated that Bove will also need to play in a league outside of Italy to make his competitive return.
