Edoardo Bove after cardiac arrest: Return to training in danger!

The Italian football professional Edoardo Bove was released two weeks after his dramatic collapse in the game against Inter Milan from the Careggi Hospital in Florence. During this game, the 22-year-old midfielder, who plays on a loan from AS Roma at AC Fiorentina, suffered a cardiac arrest. The reason for this is a serious inflammation of the heart muscle tissue. On Tuesday, the doctors were given permission to implant a temporary defibrillator at BOVE to stabilize his heart function. His club already made it clear that the treatment was successfully completed, but the player must continue to go through a postoperative recovery process, as well as laola1.at reported .

However, the developments related to Bove's health situation raise questions about his sporting future. According to the strict regulations of Serie A, it is not allowed to actively play with an implanted defibrillator. This could mean that he cannot continue his career in Italy if the defibrillator is not removed in a few months. In this case, BOVE may have to switch to a league abroad that has less strict rules regarding health requirements. Until the final clarification of this situation, AC Fiorentina is obliged to pay Bove's salary by June 30th, so n-tv.de .
