McTominay to undergo heart surgery, Napoli confirm

Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay will undergo corrective heart surgery in the coming days after being diagnosed with a mild, benign arrhythmia, the Serie A club confirmed on September 1, 2026. The procedure will rule the Scotland international out of action until after the upcoming international break, causing him to miss the start of his national team's Nations League campaign. The 29-year-old was withdrawn during the second half of Napoli's 2-1 home defeat to Como on August 31. Following the match, the club announced the diagnosis and planned treatment.
