Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay has returned to availability following a successful Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) procedure to correct a benign arrhythmia. The surgery, performed on September 8 at Spire Manchester Hospital, allowed the player to recover near his family in the United Kingdom. Following a period of rest and individual training to manage post-operative anticoagulant therapy, McTominay has resumed pitch training with the squad. Manager Massimiliano Allegri has maintained a cautious reintegration plan, noting that the midfielder may initially feature for only “20 or 30 minutes” to regain match fitness. In recent Serie A action, McTominay played a pivotal role in a 3-3 draw against Roma at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Parallel to his physical recovery, McTominay’s professional future remains uncertain due to a contract renewal stalemate. While Napoli has expressed interest in extending his deal to 2030, a significant gap remains between the player's salary demands and the club's structure. This impasse has intensified transfer speculation, with reports indicating that Manchester United and Aston Villa are interested in his services. Napoli is reportedly prepared to set an asking price between €25m and €30m should a renewal fail.
