Fiorentina vs. Inter interrupted over medical emergency for Bove | OneFootball

The Serie A match between Fiorentina and Inter has been interrupted following a medical emergency for Viola midfielder Edoardo Bove.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove has been taken to the Careggi hospital near the Stadio Franchi and is breathing autonomously, but has not yet regained consciousness.

The Lega Serie A announced that the game is abandoned and will not be resumed today.

They had stopped play at the Stadio Franchi to discuss a potential VAR check on a disallowed Lautaro Martinez goal when suddenly the former Roma midfielder went down.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove was bending down tying his laces when he suddenly collapsed.

There was a panicked reaction from his teammates and the Inter players, who quickly rushed the medical staff over.

They were also increasingly angry when the ambulance did not drive onto the pitch, but that might’ve been because the Stadio Franchi is currently undergoing restructuring work.

He was therefore rushed to the ambulance in the tunnel on a stretcher and taken away.

Fiorentina and Inter players were in tears as they waited for news, then were asked to leave the field and go back to the dressing rooms.

Bove is a 22-year-old midfielder who is a product of the Roma youth academy who joined Fiorentina on loan this summer for €1.5m with an option to buy for a further €10.5m.
