AI summary
Scott McTominay completed his cardiac ablation procedure yesterday and will observe a two-week recovery period before resuming training on 22 September, according to Tuttosport. Napoli are optimistic about having the Scottish midfielder available when the Serie A campaign resumes on 10 October against Frosinone, though medical experts note that while recovery techniques for professional athletes have improved significantly, the timeline remains ambitious.
McTominay's absence compounds Napoli's midfield crisis. Anguissa suffered a flexor strain and is out for tonight's Arsenal match, while Neres faces a late fitness test on his troublesome knee after recent setbacks. The club's decision to rely on just four central midfielders this summer has left them exposed.
