Napoli's Scott McTominay to undergo corrective surgery for 'mild benign arrhythmia'
Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay has been diagnosed with a mild benign arrhythmia and is set to undergo corrective surgery. The condition, while described as benign, will require a period of recovery and layoff. McTominay, who joined Napoli from Manchester United, has been a key figure in the club's midfield since his move. The timeline for his return has not been specified, but the club and medical staff are expected to monitor his recovery closely.
