Napoli and Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay has procedure for irregular heartbeat

Napoli and Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay successfully underwent a pulsed field ablation procedure at Spire Manchester Hospital to treat a mild benign heart arrhythmia. Napoli confirmed the operation was a complete success and noted that the player will rest for two weeks before gradually resuming training. The twenty-nine-year-old midfielder will miss several key matches, including Napoli's Champions League opener against Arsenal and upcoming international fixtures for Scotland. McTominay previously starred for Manchester United before transferring to Napoli in 2024, earning Serie A MVP honors after helping capture the league title in 2025. Medical staff anticipate a full recovery following his mandatory post-operative rest period, allowing him to return to competitive action once fully cleared by cardiologists. Club officials emphasized that the minimally invasive procedure was a planned precautionary measure to ensure his long-term athletic health.
