Edoardo Bove Collapses During Serie A Match

Fiorentina's Serie A match against Inter Milan was abandoned after midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed on the pitch in the 16th minute. The 22-year-old was treated immediately by medical personnel while both teams formed a protective circle around him. Players were visibly distraught, with several in tears as the match was halted and later called off. Reports indicated that Bove was breathing but unconscious when taken to the hospital, though he regained consciousness en route. This incident has drawn comparisons to the tragic death of former Fiorentina captain Davide Astori in 2018, highlighting ongoing concerns about player safety in football. The match abandonment marks the second such occurrence in Serie A this year, following a similar incident involving Roma's Evan Ndicka in April.
