Football Italia reported that Napoli have confirmed Scott McTominay is back with the club and has started recovery work in the gym in Naples after a recent heart procedure. The midfielder had been sidelined for four matches across all competitions.
The report says the procedure was carried out in Manchester on 8 September and that Napoli had expected him to need about two weeks of rest. McTominay is described as aiming to be available again for Napoli’s next Serie A match at home to Frosinone on 10 October.
He is also said to be targeting the Champions League trip to Villarreal on 13 October, but the evidence only supports that as an availability aim rather than a confirmed return. For now, the key update is that his recovery has moved from rest to individual work rather than full team involvement.
What remains unconfirmed
- Whether McTominay will definitely be fit for the Frosinone match.
- Whether he will be available for the Villarreal Champions League fixture on 13 October.
