Former Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay is facing a brief spell on the sidelines after Napoli confirmed that the 29-year-old is scheduled to undergo corrective heart surgery this week.
The Serie A giants released a statement revealing that the Scotland international has recently experienced a mild, benign cardiac arrhythmia—a condition causing the heart to beat out of its normal rhythm. To correct the issue, McTominay will undergo a targeted procedure using pulsed field ablation (PFA). Medical experts emphasize that the condition is not life-threatening, and the procedure is a standard measure to permanently address the irregular electrical pathways.
While the diagnosis is categorized as non-serious, the timing deals a blow to both club and country. McTominay is set to miss key fixtures, including Napoli’s upcoming UEFA Champions League opener against Arsenal, as well as a domestic clash against Italian champions Inter Milan. On the international front, he will sit out four upcoming UEFA Nations League matches for Scotland against Slovenia, Switzerland, and North Macedonia.
Club medical staff anticipate a straightforward recovery, estimating that the midfielder will be cleared to return to action immediately following the upcoming international break. McTominay has established himself as an integral figure in Italy since completing his high-profile transfer from Old Trafford, playing a central role in Napoli’s recent domestic triumphs.
