Napoli say Scott McTominay back in full training after heart surgery

Scott McTominay, the Scotland midfielder at Napoli, has rejoined the squad’s full training after undergoing a pulse‑field ablation operation for a benign heart rhythm issue. The club announced on the 7th that medical checks confirmed he is fit to train with the team, and a Getty Images photo of the session was released.

He was substituted in the second half of Napoli’s Serie A round‑two match with Como on 30 August after a mild arrhythmia was found. The club announced on 1 September that he would undergo a pulse‑field ablation, performed on 8 September and declared successful.

Additional checks on 7 September confirmed McTominay is fit to train, allowing him to finish his individual programme and join the full squad session. Napoli indicated he may be listed on the bench for the round‑six clash with Fiorentina on 10 September.
