Bove returned to the training ground to see his team-mates just a couple of weeks following his heart surgery. Indeed, the 22-year-old was given a hero's welcome.
The Italian also took to Instagram to express his thoughts on the incident, stating that he was "truly grateful to belong to this world", thanking everyone "from the bottom of my heart for the affection and closeness" they showed during his treatment.
Now, Bove's Fiorentina team-mate Robin Gosens has opened up on the incident, describing how he felt the moment he saw Bove collapse on the field.
GettyWHAT NEXT FOR EDOARDO BOVE?
Although Bove played 17 minutes off the bench in Fiorentina's 3-0 win at home over Inter in February, he hasn't featured since, as rules in Italy forbid a player fitted with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) from playing.
