Overview
- The midfielder travelled to London and underwent a corrective cardiac ablation on Monday to treat what Napoli described as a mild, benign arrhythmia.
- Napoli’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna, set out a staged recovery that starts with two weeks of rest, moves to non‑contact training and requires about 28 days before full medical clearance.
- The club expects McTominay to miss the upcoming Champions League match with Arsenal and Scotland’s Nations League fixtures as he completes the post‑procedure rehabilitation.
- The procedure reported by outlets as a pulsed‑field ablation is minimally invasive and the required anticoagulant therapy helps explain the month‑long clearance timetable, with Napoli’s medical staff to monitor him at Castel Volturno after he returns from England.
- Contract renewal talks between McTominay and Napoli remain unresolved, creating a parallel squad‑planning issue for the club as they manage his short‑term absence and the wider busy fixture run.
