Overview
- Napoli confirmed on Tuesday that Scott McTominay underwent a pulsed‑field ablation at Spire Manchester Hospital and that the club called the procedure a complete success.
- The club’s medical plan requires about two weeks of rest, a graded return to non‑contact training, and roughly 28 days before full sporting fitness because the player will take anticoagulant drugs.
- As a result McTominay will miss the next three Napoli fixtures including the Champions League home game with Arsenal and is likely to be unavailable for Scotland’s four Nations League matches.
- Sporting director Giovanni Manna said renewal talks remain unresolved, adding a squad‑planning complication while McTominay recovers and is under contract through 2028.
- McTominay’s quick, minimally invasive treatment removes short‑term health risk but creates near‑term tactical gaps for Napoli and raises second‑order transfer and negotiation risks if talks stall.
