Summary
Scott McTominay trained for the first time since his heart procedure yesterday, marking the start of his recovery from the benign cardiac arrhythmia that forced him out at the start of the season. He will initially avoid contact work before gradually reintegrating with the squad, with his availability for Frosinone dependent on how he responds to training and his own physical sensations.
The midfielder's absence has been keenly felt. Napoli's attacking struggles this season partly reflect his missing presence, and Allegri will need to determine where McTominay fits tactically—he has played as a midfielder, interior, and even as a number ten under previous coaches. His return represents a significant boost to the squad's balance and goal-scoring threat.
