(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 2 - Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove is
much better after collapsing during his side's Serie A home
match against champions Inter on Sunday, the club's General
Manager Alessandro Ferrari said after visiting the player in
Florence's Careggi hospital on Monday.
"We are much happier and more relaxed than we were yesterday,"
Ferrari said.
"We saw the lad this morning, we spoke to him, he is lucid,
alert, with his (usual) desire to laugh and joke.
"The situation obviously has to be kept under control... but the
lad is fine".
Ferrari added that the 22-year-old had spoken to his team mates
and convinced them to take the field for Wednesday's Italian Cup
tie against Empoli.
Sunday's match against Inter was suspended after Bove collapsed.
The Florence club has said that initial cardiological and
neurological tests "have ruled out acute damage to the central
nervous system and the cardio-respiratory system".
It said Monday that further tests will be done to find out what
caused the collapse. (ANSA).
