McTominay to Undergo Heart Surgery After Joining Napoli

Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay, who completed a move from Manchester United to Napoli earlier this summer, is scheduled to undergo heart surgery next week. Napoli’s medical team confirmed that the 27‑year‑old will have a corrective procedure to address a congenital cardiac condition that was identified during routine pre‑season examinations. The club said the operation is expected to be “routine” and that McTominay is in stable condition, with a projected recovery period of several weeks before he can resume light training.

Both Napoli and the Scottish Football Association released statements wishing McTominay a swift recovery and noting that his health takes precedence over any immediate playing commitments. The surgery means he will miss the start of Napoli’s Serie A campaign and upcoming international fixtures for Scotland, but the clubs expect him to return to full fitness later in the season. Further updates will be provided as his postoperative progress becomes clear.
