Moise Kean has been discharged from hospital and is in no
danger after collapsing on the pitch following a clash of heads during
Fiorentina's defeat at Verona, the Serie A club said on Monday.
The 24-year-old Italian international striker was
stretchered off in the second half of Sunday's 1-0 loss in a worrying repeat of
what happened to Fiorentina teammate Edoardo Bove who had a heart attack
earlier this season.
But in a statement, Fiorentina said Kean had been
"discharged from hospital in Verona overnight and has returned to
Florence.
"Medical and diagnostic tests all produced negative
results," added Fiorentina.
Kean has had an eventful season since moving to Fiorentina
from Juventus, scoring 19 times in all competitions for the Tuscan club and
playing his way back into the Italy team.
Kean netted the decisive goal in Italy's Nations League match
with Israel in September.
Earlier this month he was targeted with racist abuse on
social media by Inter Milan supporters after Fiorentina's defeat at the San
Siro.
