Napoli and Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay has procedure for irregular heartbeat
Napoli and Scotland footballer Scott McTominay underwent a successful surgical procedure on Tuesday to address an irregular heartbeat, reported by the Serie A club. The PFA (pulsed field ablation) operation, a minimally invasive technique for treating heart arrhythmias, was conducted at Spire Manchester Hospital. Napoli announced Tuesday morning that the procedure was a complete success.
The 29-year-old midfielder will rest for two weeks before resuming training. McTominay missed several matches for Napoli, including the club's Champions League opener against Arsenal, and is expected to miss all four of Scotland's upcoming Nations League games. Since joining Napoli in 2024, the 2025 Serie A MVP had already made significant contributions. Prior to Napoli, McTominay spent his entire career with Manchester United.
