  "summary": "Napoli have announced that Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay will undergo a minor heart procedure due to a mild benign arrhythmia. The 29-year-old was substituted during Scotland's 2-1 Serie A defeat by Como on Sunday and is expected to recover and return to action after the international break in early October. This will likely keep him out of the first four games of Scotland's Nations League campaign, which includes matches against Slovenia, North Macedonia, and Switzerland. McTominay's cardiac arrhythmia ablation, a procedure involving heat or cold energy to restore a normal heartbeat, will be performed.",
