The Scottish player, absent since August 31 due to a benign mild arrhythmia, has received medical clearance. Allegri is considering calling him up for the match against Frosinone.
Scott McTominay is ready to be available again for Napoli. The Scottish midfielder, absent since last August 31st, has received medical clearance following a cardiac ablation procedure for a mild, benign arrhythmia. Manager Massimiliano Allegri is considering calling him up for the league match on Saturday night against Frosinone.
The idea would be to give him a brief return to the pitch, even if only for a few minutes, to put the period of absence behind him and to begin reintegrating him gradually. His absence had caused problems for the Partenopei's midfield, reduced to just three players (Lobotka, Gilmour, and De Bruyne) to face nine matches.
Meanwhile, at Castel Volturno, Kevin De Bruyne has also returned to training, fresh from his national team experience, while Allegri must contend with the unavailability of the wide players Olivera and Favasuli. The manager is evaluating some tactical solutions but intends to keep the 4-3-3 formation as his reference.
Scott McTominay, the Scottish midfielder for Napoli, underwent a cardiac ablation procedure one month ago, precisely on September 7, 2026, at the Spire Manchester Hospital. The surgery was necessary to resolve a mild, benign arrhythmia—a heart rhythm disorder that, while not serious, required this medical treatment to allow him to return to play.
The issue arose during the Napoli-Como match on August 30, when McTominay was substituted in the 56th minute after showing signs of breathlessness. From that moment, the medical journey began, leading to the operation and the subsequent recovery period. His prolonged absence has posed challenges for manager Massimiliano Allegri, leaving Napoli's midfield with only three available players for a packed schedule of fixtures.
McTominay is a versatile player, capable of covering various roles in midfield (mezzala, trequartista, defensive midfielder, playmaker). His return, albeit gradual, offers Allegri more options at a crucial point in the season, with back-to-back commitments in the league and the Champions League.
