McTominay feeling fine despite heart issue
Napoli revealed the Scotland international will undergo surgery and miss a few weeks due to the onset of a mild benign arrhythmia.
Napoli's Scott McTominay, a Scotland international, disclosed on Wednesday that he is feeling fine after being diagnosed with a minor heart issue, which required surgery. McTominay, who was named Serie A's best player during Napoli's championship-winning 2024/25 season, made the announcement at a press conference in Milan. He informed reporters that the heart problem had been known for some time.
Napoli announced on Tuesday that McTominay would be sidelined for a few weeks due to this issue. The club confirmed that the 29-year-old will undergo Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) surgery in the coming days and expects to return to action after the international break.
Despite his recent diagnosis, McTominay has been a crucial player for Napoli since his transfer from Manchester United in 2024. He has netted 27 goals in 82 matches for the Italian club. However, McTominay struggled in Napoli's first two Serie A games this season. He is currently absent from their upcoming fixture against Inter Milan, as well as the Champions League match against Arsenal.
Additionally, McTominay will be missing Scotland's upcoming Nations League matches against Slovenia (twice), Switzerland, and North Macedonia.
