McTominay's Return Nears: Medical Tests Scheduled for Napoli Midfielder's Fitness

October 6, 2026Carlos Mendoza1 мин

Scott McTominay is getting closer to playing for Napoli again. Following heart surgery and a recovery period with personalized training, the midfielder will undergo medical tests to confirm his fitness for sport. This news offers a positive outlook after Olivera's injury. Napoli faces a busy schedule in Serie A and the Champions League, and having the Scottish player back will be significant.

McTominay's Medical Assessments for Sports Eligibility

According to Sky Sport, McTominay will have the necessary medical exams tomorrow, October 6th, to regain his sports eligibility. This is a highly anticipated appointment that could lead to his inclusion in Napoli's squad. The Scottish player underwent heart surgery last September to treat a mild, benign arrhythmia through surgical ablation. After an initial recovery phase in England, he returned to Castelvolturno to continue his rehabilitation with a tailored program.

Projected Return to Play

The results of tomorrow's tests will be crucial for determining the next steps. If the tests are positive and he receives sports eligibility, Massimiliano Allegri might consider including McTominay in the squad for the next league game. Napoli is set to play Frosinone at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium on Saturday, October 10th, for the sixth round of Serie A. This match could potentially be the first opportunity to see the Scottish player available for the team. After weeks off, McTominay is ready to rejoin the group. Everything now depends on the medical results.
