McTominay resumes Napoli training, targeting post-break comeback
Scott McTominay has started individual training at Castel Volturno after undergoing corrective ablation surgery in Manchester for an arrhythmia. Napoli hope he can return soon after the international break, possibly for their October 11 match against Frosinone, though the club is being cautious. His absence has limited Napoli's central penetration during a mixed start under Max Allegri.
Scott McTominay, 29, has resumed solo work at Napoli’s Castel Volturno base. He is recovering from an ablation procedure in Manchester that addressed an irregular heartbeat found earlier this month. Napoli are cautiously targeting a return after the international break, perhaps when Frosinone visit on October 11.
His absence has coincided with an uneven Napoli start under Max Allegri: two victories, two losses and one draw. Without him, the side has struggled to play vertically through central areas; his movement into pockets and strength in duels aid both attack and defense.
McTominay’s possible return may matter most to Napoli supporters and the club’s season, as his central runs could restore attacking variety and ease pressure on Allegri. For fans in Naples, a fit midfielder could lift matchday mood and local pride, while opponents may need to adjust. Yet health remains primary; cautious reintegration could shape how quickly any sporting or social benefits appear.
