Now it’s official, the Italian Cup match on Wednesday evening between Fiorentina and Empoli will be played regularly despite the illness that occurred last night to Viola player Edoardo Bove during the championship match against Inter.
Some statements on the matter from vice president and managing director Rebecca Corsi arrive via Empoli’s official channels: “I was watching the match on TV and what happened to Edoardo was shocking. Unfortunately, the images of the faces of the players and the referee on the pitch gave the feeling that we could be witnessing something terrible. The whole world of football rallied around him, fortunately the boy is better and the fundamental thing now is just his health.”
The number two of the Tuscan club continues and concludes: “We immediately got in touch with Fiorentina to understand the situation and express our closeness, giving our availability for a possible postponement of the match if it was not possible to play. The boy’s condition has already appeared to be improving since this morning and after speaking with the Viola managers we are very happy to have learned that Wednesday’s match can be played as per the calendar. This means that Bove is better and the worst is behind him. And this is the most important thing.”
