Fiorentina confirm Bove out of intensive care

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 his team was knocked out of the Italian Cup on penalties by Empoli.

“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.
