"I'm fine!"
After heart attack! Fiorentina’s Bove wants a comeback
Two weeks after collapsing during a Serie A match, Italian footballer Edoardo Bove has made a comeback announcement!
"I'm fine and that's the most important thing!" wrote the 22-year-old Fiorentina professional in an Instagram post. On December 1, Bove collapsed at home against Inter after suffering a cardiac arrest. The winger has since been implanted with a defibrillator.
He was discharged from hospital on Friday. Bove concluded his post with an announcement: "We'll see you again soon... On the pitch!"
Should he keep the defibrillator, however, this could mean the end of his sporting career in his home country due to a strict passage in the Serie A regulations on the use of defibrillators.
Implanted defibrillators are not permitted for players in the Italian top flight.
Denmark's Christian Eriksen, for example, had to retire from Inter Milan three years ago after he was fitted with a permanent defibrillator following a cardiac arrest. The 32-year-old now plays for Manchester United.
