Napoli's McTominay Has Successful Heart Procedure
Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna said McTominay will need 28 days to regain sporting fitness after taking anticoagulant drugs.
- On Monday, September 7, Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay underwent heart surgery in England to correct "a mild benign arrhythmia," an irregular heartbeat deemed non-serious by the club.
- McTominay promised fans on Instagram last week, "I won't take long," adding the procedure was "something I'd planned to do with the club for quite a while" .
- Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna confirmed, "It will take 28 days for sporting fitness because he will take anticoagulant drugs," with two weeks of rest before resuming contact activity.
- The four-week absence rules McTominay out of Scotland's four upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures against Slovenia, Switzerland, and North Macedonia, plus Napoli's immediate matches including Arsenal.
- Regarding the 29-year-old's contract through summer 2028, Manna stated, "He has a two-year contract, we want to do it, and he wants to do it too," though negotiations remain ongoing.
