Fiorentina announce successful Bove surgery

The midfielder, on-loan from Roma, suffered a cardiac arrest during the Serie A clash with Inter Milan last week.

Bove has now had  a removable, internal defibrillator fitted at the Careggi hospital in Florence.

“ACF Fiorentina can announce that the operation that footballer Edoardo Bove was subjected to was successful,” the club wrote in a statement. 

“Edoardo was in contact with the club a few minutes ago, and in his own words, informed the club that he is fine and that he will continue the post-operation procedure before being discharged from hospital in the next few days.”
