I had emergency heart treatment before World Cup opener — McTominay

Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay revealed he underwent emergency treatment for an irregular heartbeat just before his country's World Cup opener against Haiti. The 29-year-old Napoli player disclosed he received an ablation procedure in Manchester two days before the game, which he described as a shock after months of preparation.

Despite feeling good and in good condition, McTominay emphasized the need to remain focused and continue his football responsibilities. He praised the medical personnel at the hospital and the procedure itself, which he felt was necessary. McTominay is now back in Scotland's squad ahead of upcoming Nations League fixtures against North Macedonia and Switzerland.
