Scotland star Scott McTominay return timeline set after successful heart surgery
Napoli said the Scotland midfielder’s ablation was a complete success and he will rest for two weeks before returning to training.
- On Tuesday, Scott McTominay underwent an ablation procedure at Spire Manchester Hospital, with Napoli confirming the operation was a complete success.
- The midfielder was diagnosed with "a mild benign arrhythmia," an irregular heart rhythm deemed non-serious and posing no significant risk to overall health.
- McTominay will miss Napoli's Champions League opener against Arsenal on Wednesday evening and four Scotland Nations League matches against Slovenia, Switzerland, and North Macedonia.
- Facing a two-week rest period, the 29-year-old will resume training and is expected to be "available again after the international break."
- This absence impacts the first four matches of Sebastien Pocognoli's Scotland reign, as McTominay has been capped 73 times and remains influential.
