Scott Mc Tominay revealed he underwent a heart shock procedure two days before Scotland's World Cup opener against Haiti. The Napoli midfielder had a cardiac ablation in September to treat a benign arrhythmia first noticed in June. Initially, the Scotland camp hid the issue, attributing his absence to a stomach complaint.
Mc Tominay played all three World Cup matches but struggled mentally, admitting he was disappointed and needed time to recover after the group stage exit. He returned to Napoli action after the tournament but required corrective surgery in September, missing Scotland's first four matches under new boss Sebastian Pocognoli. Now back with the national squad, Mc Tominay stated the procedure was straightforward and he feels much better, emphasizing his happiness to be back playing football.
