Napoli announce that Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay will undergo a minor heart procedure after a health issue was discovered. Multiple outlets report the procedure is intended to correct an irregular heartbeat.
Napoli’s statement, as quoted by several sources, says McTominay is affected by a “mild benign arrhythmia” and will have corrective surgery in the coming days, described by some reports as a cardiac arrhythmia ablation. BBC and other outlets add that he will miss upcoming Scotland matches, including Nations League games.
Other coverage notes the immediate football context: McTominay is taken off during Napoli’s Serie A defeat to Como (as reported by the Daily Record). While most outlets focus on the medical details and the expected period on the sidelines, they largely present the same core information based on Napoli’s health update: the diagnosis of a mild benign arrhythmia, the planned corrective procedure, and the resulting short-term absence from club and international fixtures.
