(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 10 - A removable defibrillator was
implanted Tuesday under the skin of the chest of Edoardo Bove
after the 22-year-old Fiorentina and Italy Under-21 midfielder
collapsed during the first half of Fiorentina's home game
against Inter Milan on December 1, causing the match to be
called off.
Regarding the operation which is considered routine, the Viola
have not yet issued an official statement as it is still waiting
for all the necessary communications to take stock of the
situation.
The operation was carried out by the arrhythmology department of
Florence's Careggi hospital after the Viola player was rushed to
hospital with chest pains and spasms, having lost consciousness.
