Bove has been ‘awake, alert and oriented’ since Monday, the day after his sudden collapse on the pitch during a Serie A match between Fiorentina and Inter at the Stadio Franchi.

Bove fell at minute 17 and was rushed to Careggi Hospital in only 13 minutes.

According to Gazzetta, Bove will watch this evening’s Coppa Italia match between his Fiorentina side and Empoli from the hospital with his family.

Empoli coach Roberto D’Aversa and captain Alberto Grassi visited the 22-year-old yesterday.

Fiorentina and Empoli were ready to postpone the match, but Bove reportedly convinced his teammates to play.
