Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay to undergo heart surgery for irregular heartbeat
Napoli announced on Tuesday that midfielder Scott McTominay will undergo a surgical procedure to treat an irregular heartbeat. The club described the condition as a minor, benign arrhythmia and said McTominay will have a pulsed field ablation (PFA), a minimally invasive technique. He will be sidelined until after the season's first international break, meaning he won't play again until October. The 29-year-old Scotland international exited during the second half of Napoli's 2-1 loss to Como on Sunday. McTominay was Serie A's MVP in 2025 when Napoli won the title, played for Scotland at this year's World Cup, and was a Ballon d'Or contender.
