Scott McTominay and Napoli
8 September 2026
Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay underwent a surgical procedure on Tuesday to treat an irregular heartbeat and will miss the Champions League opener against Arsenal. The supplied report confirms the procedure but does not state how long he will remain unavailable.
McTominay’s absence leaves Napoli short in midfield because Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa is also unavailable with a physical issue. Massimiliano Allegri said he still plans to use a 4-3-3 system, selecting three midfielders from the four remaining available options.
