McTominay begins recovery at Napoli after heart procedure
Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay is recovering after undergoing a heart procedure, with the Serie A club confirming he has begun rehabilitation work. The former Manchester United player joined Napoli in 2024 and has been a key figure in their squad. The nature of the cardiac intervention was not disclosed in detail, but the club's medical staff are overseeing his return-to-play process. No specific return timeline has been provided at this stage.

For a player who has been central to Napoli's midfield engine room, even a short absence disrupts the balance Antonio Conte has built around physicality and ball-winning in central areas. The longer-term outlook hinges on the specific diagnosis and the club's medical clearance process, but early signs of structured rehabilitation suggest Napoli expect him back in contention this season.
