According to TuttoMercato, former Inter midfielder Eriksen has recovered after experiencing another fainting episode during a friendly match. Zeppilli, coordinator of the Italian Football Federation's Medical and Scientific Committee, discussed the situation and the relevant regulatory differences.

"He most likely experienced another episode of high-frequency ventricular arrhythmia," Zeppilli said about Eriksen, "and his defibrillator stopped the episode with an electrical shock. It's important to remember that defibrillators are implanted for primary or secondary prevention, meaning after an event has already occurred. However, there's still an ethical question here: why risk someone's life for sport?" he said.

"In Italy, are people with implanted defibrillators truly uniformly banned from competing?" On this, he answered: "No, each case is different. The Italian Cardiology Society and the Sports Medicine Federation have just formed a working group consisting of top experts to update standards regarding defibrillators." He added: "If doctors confirm that the condition won't worsen and the risk of arrhythmia recurrence is low, then they can compete." Regarding Bove's situation, he said: "I can say that Edoardo is always on my mind; he's an intelligent and sensitive young man. He will know how to make the right choice."
