Fiorentina general manager Joe Barone is in “critical but stable” condition after he was rushed to hospital on Sunday following a suspected heart attack, leading to the postponement of his team's Serie A match at Atalanta. Barone was taken to hospital in Milan by helicopter after falling ill at the team hotel in nearby Bergamo, just a few hours before kickoff. “Fiorentina can confirm that Joe Barone is currently hospitalized at the cardiac intensive care unit at San Raffaele Hospital in Milan directed by Professor Alberto Zangrillo,” the club said in a statement.
