Fiorentina star Edoardo Bove breaks down in tears as he makes an emotional return just months after suffering cardiac arrest on the pitch
Fiorentina star Edoardo Bove made his return to parent club Roma on Sunday - just months after collapsing on the pitch. Bove, 22, was rushed to hospital in December after falling to the floor untouched in the 16th minute of a Serie A match, which was subsequently abandoned. Players and staff had formed a wall around Bove while medical staff tended to him. Reports in Italy claim that a defibrillator was used to restart Bove's heart before the footballer was taken to the intensive care unit of the Careggi hospital in Florence. The midfielder has since been on the road to recovery and has expressed his aim to be back in action next season. Bove, who has been on loan at Fiorentina since last summer and remains contracted to Roma until 2028, made an appearance during the two sides' showdown on Sunday. Though not yet fit to play, he joined his teammates for the match at Stadio Olimpico and received a warm, emotional welcome. As he approached the iconic Curva Sud, Bove was greeted with a thunderous ovation, chants of his name ringing out across the stadium. The emotional moment overwhelmed the midfielder, who was visibly moved and wiped away tears as he took in the rapturous reception from the supporters who have watched him grow from academy talent to first-team regular. One banner in the stands read: 'Edoardo, don't give up, keep dreaming.' Bove's last appearance came during Fiorentina's 3-0 win over Inter in February, when he made a 17-minute cameo. However, Bove has not featured for the club since being fitted with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD), as Serie A rules forbid individuals wearing one from playing. Earlier this year, Bove ade his intention to return to the pitch clear, saying: 'I know that this is a temporary condition. My goal is to return to playing in June. 'I still have a few (medical) visits to do, the doctors have to cross-reference all of the data.' On how being fitted with a Defibrillator could affect his career, he added: 'If I decide to keep it, I won't be able to play in Italy. 'Here, health comes before the individual, I'm not saying that the rule is wrong. 'Abroad, yes, (it is possible to play) practically everywhere. Football is too important for me, I can't allow myself to give up like this. 'I'll try again, without a shadow of a doubt. I will also see how I am, If I'm afraid, if I don't feel calm, then everything will change.' Christian Eriksen was an Inter Milan player when he collapsed playing for Denmark at Euro 2020, and subsequently had to leave the club for Brentford due to the ruling. England could therefore be an option for Bove if a resolution is not found, with the young midfielder coming close to a move to Nottingham Forest in the summer, according to reports. 'It all reached a head on August 30, when she [ex-Roma chief executive Lina Souloukou] wanted to push him to accept the sale to Nottingham Forest for €8m (£6.6m),' Bove's agent Diego Tavano told Corriere dello Sport ahead of the January transfer window.. 'There was also the idea of a loan to Olympiacos from Nottingham, but I considered that transfer value to be far below his real worth. 'We fought hard and I reassured her, I would find a situation to suit everyone and get more money for the club. That solution for us was only Fiorentina. [Daniele] De Rossi, in any case, always advised the club to give Edo away with an option to bring him back.'

Bove's return to football remains difficult to envision
Edoardo Bove's return to the field remains a delicate and unresolved issue. As confirmed by the Minister of Sport Andrea Abodi, the issue is being evaluated, with meetings planned between the Italian Sports Medicine Federation and other competent bodies. Meanwhile, from England, there are signs of a possible alignment with the Italian management of similar cases. The Premier League is evaluating a possible change in the rules. Currently, in England, players with a subcutaneous defibrillator can choose to continue playing by taking the risk themselves. However, recently, there have been contacts between the British football authorities and the FMSI to evaluate a more restrictive approach, similar to the Italian one. The main obstacle for Bove is not only the rules, but his clinical picture. According to Il Messaggero, in addition to the rules, the central point remains the evaluation of the previous heart conditions that led to his cardiac arrest. This aspect will require further medical investigations, regardless of any regulatory changes.

Inter take revenge on Fiorentina to stay in title hunt
MILAN, Italy, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Inter Milan secured a 2-1 home win over Fiorentina on Monday, with Marko Arnautovic's second-half header keeping them within striking distance of Serie A leaders Napoli. The win was a blessing for second-placed Inter, who now have 54 points and have narrowed the gap with Napoli to just one point. Inter hosted Fiorentina just four days after their previous Serie A clash — the second-shortest gap in league history. Fiorentina completed a 3-0 victory in last Thursday's match, which had been suspended in the 17th minute on December 1 after Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove suffered a cardiac arrest and collapsed on the pitch. Inter dominated the first half but broke the deadlock thanks to an own goal from Fiorentina's Marin Pongracic, who headed the ball into his own net from a corner in the 28th minute. Despite Inter's dominance, the visitors managed to level the score a minute before the break, with Rolando Mandragora converting from the penalty spot after Matteo Darmian handled a cross. Inter substitute Arnautovic headed the team back into the lead with a close-range finish off a cross, just seven minutes after the restart, securing all three points.

Fiorentina deny Inter top spot in reconvened game
Inter Milan missed the chance to move top of Serie A as they fell to defeat at an inspired Fiorentina in a match that was rescheduled after home midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed on the pitch on 1 December. The on-loan Roma player, 22, who was admitted to hospital and has since had a defibrillator fitted, watched on from the sidelines as the contest restarted in the 17th minute, the time the original match was suspended. Luca Ranieri opened the scoring for Raffaele Palladino's depleted side, who like Inter, were unable to field any new signings given they would have been unavailable when the contest first began. The Fiorentina captain steered in a low effort from a corner before former Everton and Juventus forward Moise Kean doubled their advantage with a header from Dodo's cross. Kean rounded off a deserved victory for the hosts late on when Federico Dimarco's errant back pass left Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer stranded. Reigning champions Inter had been hoping to climb above league leaders Napoli on goal difference. However, aside from a Carlos Augusto effort, that was correctly ruled out for offside during the first period following a video assistant referee review, they rarely looked like breaking down a resolute home defence. The teams face each other again in the reverse fixture at the San Siro on Monday, 10 February (19:45 GMT).
