Fiorentina’s home match against Inter Milan on Sunday was abandoned after midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed on the pitch.
The 22-year-old went to ground just past the quarter-hour mark in the Serie A contest at the Stadio Artemio Franchi and medical assistance was swiftly called over.
Distressed Fiorentina and Inter players formed a shield around Bove before he was transported via stretcher to the back of an ambulance.

Referee Daniel Doveri then took the teams off the field as the game was suspended, and a little over half an hour later it was confirmed that the match had been abandoned.
A post from Serie A on X read: “Forza Edoardo. We’re all with you.”
Bove, a product of Roma’s youth system, joined Fiorentina from the Giallorossi in August on a season-long loan with an option to buy.
