Edoardo Bovehospitalized at the Cardiological Intensive Care Unit of the Careggi Hospital in Florence, is moving towards his discharge scheduled for next week, barring post-operative complications. The young Fiorentina midfielder has accepted the decision to implant a defibrillator under his skina choice that will prevent him from continuing to play in Serie A due to Italian regulations. However, he will be able to resume his football career in a foreign league once his rehabilitation is completed. Meanwhile, the return to a normal life will be quicker, with Fiorentina and his family supporting him in this delicate journey.
Nothing can be done for national team matches either because the same restrictions apply: a player equipped with a defibrillator would not be able to obtain the sporting eligibility necessary to participate in official competitions. This is because the FIGC follows national medical guidelines, which exclude the possibility of playing with this device due to the risks to the player’s health.
