According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Professor Paolo Zeppilli discussed Eriksen's return to physical distress.

Eriksen experienced another health scare: The former Inter midfielder collapsed during a friendly match before recovering, a shocking moment that stunned the football world. Professor Paolo Zeppilli, coordinator of the Italian Football Federation's Medical and Scientific Committee and a leading expert in his field, was interviewed by Corriere dello Sport to discuss Eriksen's situation and the relevant regulatory differences between Italy and other leagues.

Speaking about Eriksen, Zeppilli said: "He most likely experienced another episode of high-frequency ventricular arrhythmia, and the defibrillator in his body ended the episode with an electrical shock. It's important to remember that an implanted defibrillator can serve as both primary and secondary prevention, meaning action taken after an event occurs. However, there remains an ethical question here: why risk your life to play football?"

Regarding whether Italy will truly refuse to allow players with implanted defibrillators to compete, Zeppilli responded: "No, each case is different. The Italian Cardiology Society and the Sports Medicine Federation have just formed a working group of top experts to update the evaluation criteria for defibrillators."

Zeppilli added: "If doctors can ensure that the condition won't worsen and the risk of arrhythmia recurrence is low, then the player can continue playing." Finally, regarding Bove's situation, Zeppilli said: "I can say that Edoardo is always in my heart—he is an intelligent and sensitive young man. He will know how to choose the right path."
