Edoardo Bove Scores First Watford Goal in Stoppage Time

The midfielder resumed his career in England because Italian rules bar players with implanted defibrillators.

Overview

  • Bove sealed a 3-1 win over Wrexham with a 94th-minute finish at Vicarage Road.
  • The strike was his first competitive goal since October 2024, before his long layoff from the game.
  • He collapsed during FiorentinaInter on December 1, 2024, was diagnosed with torsades de pointes, and received a subcutaneous defibrillator.
  • Unable to compete in Italy under current regulations, he joined Watford as a free agent in January and made six substitute appearances before scoring.
  • UK-based Roma supporters displayed a banner and cheered his return, which he marked by sprinting to celebrate with the fans.
