Fiorentina forward Moise Kean has returned to Florence after being discharged from a Verona hospital, the club confirmed Tuesday.
The 24-year-old Italian star of Ivorian descent spent the night under medical observation after collapsing during a Serie A match.
The incident occurred during Sunday’s fixture against Hellas Verona when Kean sustained a head injury following a collision.
However, moments after resuming play, Kean collapsed again, lying motionless on the turf as players frantically called for emergency assistance.
Medical personnel stabilized the former Juventus star with a neck brace before transporting him off the field via stretcher in the 67th minute.
Substitute Nicolo Fagioli took his place while Kean was rushed to a nearby hospital for further evaluation.
Medical evaluations, including neurological scans, revealed no serious injuries, according to Fiorentina.
“ACF Fiorentina announces that Moise Kean left the hospital in Verona during the night and returned to Florence. All the clinical and diagnostic tests carried out were negative.”
The scene drew eerie parallels for midfielder Edoardo Bove, who watched from the stands weeks after his own medical emergency during a match against Inter Milan.
Bove, who survived a cardiac arrest in December, spent 12 days hospitalized and now plays with an implanted defibrillator.
Kean, born in Italy to parents from Côte d’Ivoire, has risen through Italy’s national team ranks while maintaining strong ties to his African roots.
The match resumed after the delay, ending in a 1-1 draw, though the result was overshadowed by concerns over player safety and Kean’s condition.
