Fiorentina striker Kean discharged from hospital after on-pitch collapse

Fiorentina striker Moise Kean has been discharged from the hospital and is in no danger after collapsing on the pitch following a head collision during Fiorentina’s 1-0 defeat to Verona, the Serie A club confirmed on Monday.

The 24-year-old Italian international was stretchered off in the second half, raising concerns given a similar incident involving his teammate Edoardo Bove, who suffered a heart attack earlier this season.

However, Fiorentina reassured fans in a statement, saying, “Kean was discharged from the hospital in Verona overnight and has returned to Florence. Medical and diagnostic tests all produced negative results.”

Kean has been in fine form since joining Fiorentina from Juventus, scoring 19 goals across all competitions and earning a recall to the Italian national team. He also scored the decisive goal in Italy’s Nations League match against Israel in September.

Earlier this month, Kean was subjected to racist abuse on social media from Inter Milan fans following Fiorentina’s loss at San Siro.
