Scotland international Scott McTominay said he was feeling fine a day after his club Napoli revealed that he needed surgery on a minor heart issue.
McTominay, who was voted Serie Aās best player during Napoliās 2024/25 title-winning campaign, spoke to reporters at the professional footballers gala in Milan on Wednesday.
He said that the issue had been known about for some time.
On Tuesday, Napoli revealed that he would be out for a few weeks due to the problem.
āDue to the onset of a mild benign arrhythmia, Scott McTominay will undergo PFA (pulsed field ablation) surgery in the next few days,ā said Napoli in a statement.
āHe will be available again after the international break.ā
McTominay, 29, has been a key player for Napoli since joining from Manchester United in 2024, scoring 27 goals in 82 matches.
But he was off-form in their opening two Serie A games.
He will miss this weekendās clash with champions Inter Milan, as well as next weekās Champions League encounter with Premier League champions Arsenal.
McTominay will also miss Scotlandās upcoming Nations League fixtures against Slovenia (twice), Switzerland and North Macedonia.
