Scott McTominay nears return to Napoli following successful surgery

Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay is making positive progress in his recovery following a successful ablation procedure performed on September 8 to treat a benign arrhythmia. The Scottish player has begun to move again, and medical staff are monitoring his condition daily to ensure a safe return to full activity.

Napoli director Giovanni Manna previously noted that the recovery process requires approximately 28 days to regain sports eligibility, as the player must manage the use of prohibited anticoagulant medications. The medical and athletic staff are prioritizing caution to avoid forcing the timeline.

The club aims to have McTominay available for the squad by early October, with a potential return for the match against Frosinone on October 10. His return is considered vital for Napoli as they face a dense schedule of nine matches throughout the month.
