“ACF Fiorentina announces that the operation to which the footballer Edoardo Bove underwent was successful. Edoardo contacted the Club a few minutes ago and from his voice the Club was informed that he is well and that he will have to continue the procedure post-operative before being discharged from hospital in the next few days.” With this press release Fiorentina announced that Edoardo Bove he underwent surgery and after the great scare in the match against Inter 10 days ago he was implanted with a subcutaneous defibrillator, which can be removed in the future but which for the moment will prevent him from returning to the pitch in Serie A.
The intervention.
The operation began at 7.30 am and ended around 11 am, inside the arrhythmology department of the Careggi hospital where Bove himself has been hospitalized since the day of his illness on the pitch. A necessary intervention to leave the facility, with the resignation expected to arrive between Thursday and Sunday depending on the evolution and how his body responds. At that point, the player will probably return to Viola Park to say goodbye to his teammates, before taking time to evaluate possible future paths regarding his life and career.
The message from Bove’s agent.
Diego Tavanoagent of Edoardo Boveposted a story on his profile Instagram after the operation to which his client underwent. The photo portrays the midfielder of Florentine during training and what the prosecutor wrote is a message of hope for the future: “The true fighter never gives up. He feeds on valor, he knows no regret, nor pain”.
