FIORENTINA have released an update on Moise Kean’s wellbeing after he collapsed on the pitch.
The former Everton striker was rushed to hospital after being stretchered off against Hellas Verona.
Kean, 24, fell to the ground in the second half after he was involved in a three-way collision with Verona duo Pawel Dawidowicz and Diego Coppola.
Play was stopped as Kean received treatment as he had been hit in the head by Dawidowicz’s knee.
The injury resulted in a big gash above his left eye.
Kean tried to play on after being bandaged up but then collapsed moments after returning to the pitch.
There was plenty of concern for the Italian as he was rushed to hospital.
Fiorentina have since released an update on Kean with a statement on social media.
It read: “ACF Fiorentina announces that Moise Kean was discharged from the Verona hospital during the night and returned to Florence.
“The clinical and diagnostic tests carried out were all negative.”
Team-mate and former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea reacted to the news with a praying emoji and purple heart.
Fans have also reacted to the positive news on social media.
One posted: “Fantastic news. Get well soon Moise!”
A second wrote: “This is good news.”
A third commented: “At least one piece of good news.”
A fourth said: “Support Moise Kean.”
Another added: “That is such a relief to hear.”
Reports in Italy said Kean was conscious during his trip to the hospital.
He was replaced on the pitch by Nicolo Fagioli in the 67th minute.
The match ended 1-0 to Verona after an injury-time winner from Antoine Bernede.
Kean has played for Fiorentina since last summer after completing a transfer from Juventus, scoring 19 goals in 30 games in all competitions.
