De Gea, who joined Viola over the summer, was between the sticks on Sunday - and he posted on social media: "God Please."

Fiorentina and Inter players formed a shield around the star as he received medical attention. Bove was transported into an ambulance, that had made its way onto the pitch at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, as players and match officials were seen in tears.

Italian journalist Matteo Dovellini shared a post on X reporting Bove is "alert, conscious and breathing autonomously."

While other fans praised the actions of Federico Dimarco and Nicolò Barella who were quick to aid the Fiorentina star: "Respect to Dimarco and Barella who fought urgently for the medics to come on the field as soon as possible. Prayers up for Edoardo Bove, his family and Fiorentina football club."

Bove joined Fiorentina in the summer, swapping from boyhood club Roma on loan, as he searched for more first team minutes.
