Scott McTominay, the 29-year-old Napoli midfielder, revealed that he underwent a cardiac ablation procedure in Manchester in September to treat a mild, benign heart arrhythmia. The issue first emerged in June and affected him again in August. Despite the procedure, he played all three of Scotland's matches at the World Cup but struggled as his team exited at the group stage. He returned to action with Napoli at the start of this season but decided surgery was the only option and spent all of September on the sidelines. He is now back with the national team for the Nations League double-header against North Macedonia and Switzerland after featuring in all nine of his club's matches since the last international break.
