Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove is no longer in intensive care and his recovery is progressing, the general manager of the Italian Serie A club said on Wednesday.
Bove collapsed on Sunday during a home game against Inter Milan. The match was suspended after he was rushed to hospital in an ambulance.
The 22-year-old has been moved to a coronary care unit, Alessandro Ferrari told Italian broadcaster Mediaset before a Fiorentina-Empoli Italian Cup game.
“Edoardo is doing well, he is recovering and we are happy. We have to be patient and have respect for him. He changed [hospital] wards so things are better,” Ferrari said.
