Bove returns to Fiorentina after medical emergency

Though he is unable to play in Serie A with an internal defibrillator fitted, he kitted up in the club’s training kit and was made to feel part of the first team group again.

There was a special moment as the 22-year-old was greeted by an enthusiastic round of applause when he walked into the team meeting.

The former Roma midfielder had surgery just three days ago to have a removable, internal defibrillator fitted (ICD) fitted, which was a necessary part of the protocol that led to his being discharged later on Friday.
