FLORENCE, Italy — Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove says he is "feeling good" and that the support he received from fans, teammates and opponents helped him recover after being placed in a medically induced coma. Bove collapsed on the field during a game against Inter Milan on Dec. 1. Bove says "it's in moments like these that I understand how genuine this sport truly is." The 22-year-old Bove was released from the hospital on Friday but won't be able to play in Italy again if he needs a defibrillator for his heart.
