Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay is undergoing rehabilitation following cardiac ablation surgery in London to treat a mild, benign case of cardiac fibrillation. The procedure was scheduled during the international break to minimize his absence from competitive play. Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna noted that the recovery process requires two weeks of rest followed by a 28-day period to achieve medical clearance for sports, as the player must take anticoagulant medication. While the club aims for a return by October, some specialists suggest full recovery and a return to training could extend into November. McTominay is expected to miss Napoli’s Champions League opener against Arsenal, upcoming Serie A fixtures, and Scotland’s Nations League matches. His medical recovery coincides with ongoing uncertainty regarding his professional future. While previous discussions regarding a contract extension through 2030 faced hurdles, reports indicate a gap remains between McTominay’s salary expectations—approximately 6.5 million euros net—and the club’s current structure. With his contract set to expire in 2028, Napoli may consider entertaining transfer offers as early as the January window to prevent the player from leaving for free if a new agreement is not reached. Recent updates confirm that McTominay has successfully undergone a Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) at Spire Manchester Hospital to correct the arrhythmia. The club stated the intervention was completed without complications. The 29-year-old is expected to observe a rest period of approximately two weeks before beginning individual training sessions.
