Bove, positive exams: how can it return to the field

Edoardo Bove reviews the field. And not from the bench as happened in Florence in recent times. Because the tests carried out in these days have given negative outcome, and in these cases the definition is far from hostile. The midfielder carried out the investigations in secret accompanied by the family and his entourage. All the medical tests carried out go in a direction: Edoardo can return to being a footballer. Now only one last qualification test is missing, but it would be a formality albeit to take with all the averting of the case. Unexpected news even if Bove has never hidden his optimism, gradually removing the invitations to become a manager or technical collaborator before time.

Impossible to surrender at 23 years. Seven months after the big fright Bove can really smile. In that damned evening Edoardo had accused an illness in the 14th minute of the first half of Fiorentina-Inter. The diagnosis had been ruthless: cardiac arrest, rescued on the pitch and then away by ambulance at the Careggi hospital. A few days later Bove underwent surgery to implant a subcutaneous cardiac defibrillator. In recent months he had gone to the bench to support Fiorentina with a special derogation and in his return to the Olimpico he had been praised by the Roma fans. Bove cried, more for the pain of not being able to reciprocate than for the emotion. More for the fear of not being able to return to play, to score as he had done in that Europa League semifinal against Leverkusen.

Italy or abroad?

And now? On 1 July Edoardo will return to Rome as per the contract since the presences for the obligation to redeem by Fiorentina have not matured. But the two clubs will leave full decision -making power to the boy for whom three streets open: move abroad, stay in Rome or return to Florence for a further year of loan but with the risk of having to wait even before being able to return to play. The current regulations, in fact, would allow him to take the field without problems abroad as had happened in Eriksen. In Italy the situation is different, but in recent months the bureaucratic question has had an acceleration. Maurizio Casasco, president of the Italian Sports Medical Federation, was contacted by the Minister for Sport Andrea Abadi in order to modify the rules on the defibrillator as is the case in other countries. The idea is to allow players who have undergone the implantation of an subcutaneous defibrillator to be able to take the field taking on all the responsibilities just as it happens in England.
