The Italian Serie A club confirmed that McTominay requires surgery to address the heart condition, which will force the 27-year-old player into an extended absence from competitive action. The midfielder, who joined Napoli from Manchester United, is expected to resume training following the procedure and recovery period.
McTominay's absence comes as Napoli prepares for a critical phase of the domestic season. The club did not provide further medical details regarding the nature of the condition or the specific surgical intervention planned.
The Scottish international has been a key part of Napoli's midfield since his summer transfer. His recovery timeline places his potential return in early October, pending medical clearance and progress during rehabilitation.
Heart-related medical issues, though uncommon in professional football, have occasionally sidelined elite athletes. Napoli will monitor McTominay's condition closely throughout the recovery process to ensure a safe and complete return to full fitness before his reintegration into team activities.
