  "account": "Napoli's Scottish midfielder Scott McTominay expressed feeling well after the club announced he required surgery for a minor heart issue. The 29-year-old Scottish international was honored as Serie A's best player during Napoli's 2024/25 title-winning season. McTominay revealed the condition had been recognized for some time, adding that the team had informed him of a few-week absence due to the problem. Napoli disclosed McTominay would undergo Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) surgery in the coming days to address a mild benign arrhythmia. The club stated he would return to duty after the international break. McTominay, who has contributed 27 goals in 82 matches since joining Napoli from Manchester United in 2024, will be absent for their upcoming matches against Inter Milan and Arsenal in the Champions League. Furthermore, he will miss Scotland's upcoming Nations League fixtures against Slovenia, Switzerland, and North Macedonia.",
