Overview
- McTominay resumed supervised gym work at Napoli’s Castel Volturno after undergoing an ablation to treat a benign cardiac arrhythmia.
- He will follow a gradual return-to-play plan that begins with non-contact sessions and progresses to full group training only after medical and sports clearance.
- Coach Massimiliano Allegri has been adjusting midfield formations during McTominay’s absence and intends to use the player’s tactical versatility across several midfield roles once he is available.
- Napoli is using the international break to stage two friendlies to rebuild match fitness for recovering players, to rehabilitate team members such as Beukema, Badiashile and David Neres, and has opened phase 1 ticket sales for the October 10 home match versus Frosinone.
- Coverage highlights McTominay’s impact—reporting 27 goals in two seasons and a claimed drop in Napoli’s win rate without him—but those statistics are presented by outlets without independent sourcing.
