<p>The Italian football world breathed a collective sigh of relief today following the on-field collapse of <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/fiorentina">Fiorentina</a> midfielder <strong>Edoardo Bove</strong> during Sunday’s Serie A match against <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/inter-milan">Inter Milan</a>. Hours after shocking footage circulated online, <strong>positive news emerged concerning the 22-year-old’s condition.</strong></p>



<p>Bove, who dramatically collapsed just 16 minutes into the game, <strong>has been extubated and is reported to be<em> “conscious, awake, and alert.”</em> </strong>Local media confirmed that he is responding appropriately to questions from medical personnel and family members. </p>



<p>Despite the encouraging progress, <strong><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/edoardo-bove">Bove</a> remains hospitalized in the intensive care unit at Florence’s Careggi Hospital</strong> and will undergo further tests throughout the day.</p>



<p><strong>Fiorentina coach Raffaele Palladino visited Bove at the hospital earlier this morning</strong>, joining the player’s parents and girlfriend at his bedside. Teammates, including Danilo Cataldi, have also offered their support, and club officials are expected to visit in the coming hours.</p>

<h2>Initial diagnosis and recovery</h2>



<p>After collapsing on the pitch, <strong>Bove regained consciousness and his heartbeat thanks to swift medical intervention at the stadium and subsequent treatment at the hospital</strong>. He spent the night sedated. Initial examinations ruled out any acute neurological or cardiac damage.</p>



<p><strong>While the exact cause of Bove’s collapse remains unclear, </strong>one hypothesis points<strong> </strong>to a sudden drop in blood potassium levels, potentially leading to cardiac issues. </p>

<p>The possibility that a <strong>hard collision with Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries</strong> <strong>may have contributed to the incident is not being ruled out</strong>. Further investigation will be needed to confirm the exact cause.</p>



<h2>The incident and immediate aftermath</h2>



<p>The match between Fiorentina and Inter Milan, featuring Lautaro Martínez, came to an abrupt halt following Bove’s collapse. Players from both teams rushed to his aid, immediately signaling for medical personnel. After initial on-field treatment, Bove was transferred to a nearby hospital.<strong> The game was subsequently suspended.</strong></p>

<p>Manchester City started its defense of the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a> crown with a 3-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor. </p>



<p>Erling Haaland, who won the Golden Boot last season, opened the scoring on the night in the 4th minute. Rodri’s headed assist set up the Norwegian. The goal put the newly promoted Clarets behind immediately into their Premier League return.</p>

<p>Vincent Kompany’s side did settle in the game after falling behind. The hosts almost restored parity in the 15th minute. Burnley’s 18-year-old winger Luca Koleosho saw his effort just miss the far corner. City goalkeeper Ederson was rooted on the underside of the crossbar.</p>



<p>Even though <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-city-tv-schedule/">Manchester City</a> had an early lead, a major blow rolled in after 20 minutes. Kevin de Bruyne left the game with an injury. The Belgian was surprised to start in the game after dealing with an injury he picked up in last season’s Champions League Final. Regardless, Pep Guardiola’s side doubled its advantage in the 36th minute. Haaland grabbed his and City’s second with a smashing finish. A little layoff from Julian Alvarez set up Haaland on his favored left foot. He blasted it across the Burnley net, using the underside of the crossbar to bang it in.</p>

<h2>City earns three points in Premier League opener at Burnley</h2>



<p>Burnley did contain the League Champions for the majority of the second half, but they hardly created any clear-cut openings. The Clarets would surely know the task in front of them this season. It is to avoid the drop in the club’s first season back.</p>



<p>City looked comfortable with its free-flowing game and Rodri made the three points safe when he smashed home to make it 3-0 in the 76th minute. Mateo Kovacic, who came on for De Bruyne looked comfortable in the middle of the park while Phil Foden dominated the game just behind Haaland and Alvarez in the final third.</p>



<p>Burnley were <a href="https://twitter.com/NBCSportsSoccer/status/1690105763090300928" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reduced to ten men</a> right at the end of the game. Anass Zaroury brought down Kyle Walker with a mistimed sliding challenge from behind.</p>



<p>Guardiola handed Premier League debut to record signing Josko Gvardiol who looked calm and composed in the back four as Burnley hardly threatened the City goal. The defending Champions ran out comfortable 3-0 winners in the end and will now take on Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup final in midweek before hosting Newcastle United next weekend.</p>

<p>Paris (AFP) – Aaron Ramsey struck a minute into his Nice debut after coming on as a substitute to salvage a 1-1 draw away to promoted Toulouse on the opening weekend of the Ligue 1 season.</p>
<p>The Wales international curled in an equaliser on 78 minutes Sunday to cancel out a first-half goal by new Toulouse signing Thijs Dallinga.</p>
<p>Ramsey, 31, left Juventus when his contract was terminated at the end of July, and swiftly reappeared just across the border at Nice after penning a one-year deal.</p>
<p>Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel was named on the bench by Nice coach Lucien Favre following his arrival this week from Leicester City, the club he won the Premier League title with in 2016.</p><p></p>
