He was carried off on a stretcher to an ambulance near the pitch and taken to Careggi Hospital in Florence. The game was abandoned. Fiorentina said on X that Bove "was awakened and extubated this morning" and that he is "awake, alert and oriented." Bove has scored one goal in 11 Serie A games this season.
