McTominay Sidelined with Heart Arrhythmia

Napoli said Scott McTominay has a mild, benign arrhythmia and will miss about a month after corrective ablation surgery.

  • Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay will undergo heart surgery after being diagnosed with a "mild, benign arrhythmia," the Italian Serie A club announced on Tuesday; the 29-year-old will be sidelined for a month.
  • McTominay was substituted after 56 minutes during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Como and will undergo corrective pulsed field ablation in the coming days to address the irregular heartbeat.
  • Pulsed field ablation is a minimally invasive technique using electrical pulses to block faulty signals and restore normal heartbeat rhythm; Napoli expects McTominay to return after the international break.
  • Between September 26 and October 6, McTominay will miss Scotland's four Nations League group matches, including fixtures against Slovenia, Switzerland, and North Macedonia.
  • New Scotland head coach Sebastian Pocognoli will name his maiden Nations League squad later this month without the experienced midfielder available for his first four fixtures in charge.
