The Fiorentina captain died at the age of 31 earlier this month, but will remain in the world's most popular football video game
EA Sports has confirmed that Davide Astori will remain in FIFA 18.
The Fiorentina captain tragically passed away in his sleep at the age of 31 on March 4.
Fiorentina have subsequently mourned their captain, both in public and in private, and won their emotionally-charged return to Serie A action against Benevento.
Astori, like every player across Europe's top leagues, was featured in the latest FIFA release, and EA Sports has now revealed that, after consultation with the club, he will stay in the game.
