Why Edoardo Bove might not play in the Serie A again | OneFootball

Fiorentina’s Edoardo Bove remains under observation after he collapsed in the Serie A game against Inter at the weekend and the indication now is that he may not play in the Italian top flight ever again.

La Repubblica today, as relayed by TVPlay, report that Bove will undergo local anesthesia surgery to insert an internal defibrillator. The player himself has already given his consent to this operation.

However, in fact, this choice brings with it the fact that Edoardo Bove will no longer play in Serie A. That is because players with a defibrillator are not allowed to play in the Italian top flight, as witnessed in the case of Christian Eriksen, who left Inter right after his incident and joined Brentford.

This means that like Eriksen, Bove will also have to depart the Serie A and seek other pastures. The feeling in Italy is that the defibrillator can ‘break’ at any point, causing potential harm to a player’s life and they do not want to take that risk.
