Many football clubs and players quickly reacted to Edoardo Bove’s sudden illness during Fiorentina-Inter by sharing their thoughts on social media.
The 22-year-old collapsed to the ground after about 15 minutes of action during his side’s home meeting with the Nerazzurri, after he was seen bent down tying his laces.
The game was immediately suspended and postponed, sparking concern in the football world, starting with Bove’s teammate De Gea, who simply wrote ‘God please’.
