Edoardo Bove, Fiorentina's 22-year-old midfielder, will undergo implantation of a subcutaneous defibrillator today at the Cardiology Intensive Care Unit at Careggi Hospital in Florence. The device, which became necessary following an illness sustained on December 1 during the Fiorentina-Inter match, will be temporary and may be removed at a later date, subject to medical consent and an overall assessment of his condition. Bove, who has been hospitalized since last Wednesday, suffered a ventricular arrhythmia and is undergoing further tests to determine the exact cause of the heart problem. If everything proceeds without complications, the player could be discharged between Thursday and Saturday. Doctors continue to monitor the situation closely to ensure full clinical safety and optimal recovery.
