An unpleasant incident occurred during an Italian Serie A match between Inter Milan and Fiorentina. Fiorentina player Edoardo Bove, an Italian, had an epileptic seizure that caused a temporary cardiac arrest.
Yesterday, December 1, in the 14th round of Serie A, Inter Milan visited Fiorentina from Florence. In the 14th minute of the match, Inter forward Lautaro Martinez opened the scoring in the match, but the linesman raised his flag because the ball went out of bounds.
While the referee was reviewing the incident on the VAR system, on the other side of the field, Fiorentina winger Edoardo Bove fell to the pitch in convulsions. Inter players immediately noticed this and began calling for help from the doctors.
The game was immediately suspended.
ANSA reported that an epileptic seizure caused Edoardo Bove's temporary cardiac arrest.
At the same time, Fiorentina's press service reported that Beauvais was under pharmacological sedation and hospitalized in intensive care.
The club later reported that Beauvais was taken to the emergency room with stable hemodynamics, and the first cardiological and neurological tests performed ruled out acute damage to the central nervous system and cardiorespiratory system.
He will be re-evaluated within the next 24 hours. Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Beauvais is conscious and answering questions. The player underwent extubation this morning and is currently breathing without the help of tubes.
The match ended in the 17th minute and will be replayed later.
22-year-old Edoardo Bove, who plays for Fiorentina, belongs to Roma, where Ukrainian forward Artem Dovbyk plays.
In June of this year, Beauvais moved to Fiorentina on loan, where he will play until August 2025.
Dovbyk reacted to the terrifying episode on Instagram.
In the current Serie A campaign, Beauvais has played 12 matches for the “violets”, scoring one goal and providing two assists. The player’s transfer value is estimated at $13.9 million.
