Scott McTominay nears return to training with Napoli before Serie A matches

Summary

Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay is close to returning to training after undergoing corrective surgery for a benign arrhythmia. He has started individual workouts at Castel Volturno and may regain full fitness during the international break in September. McTominay has been unavailable since the second round of Serie A. His potential return is timely for Napoli, who have experienced a poor start under coach Massimiliano Allegri, securing only two wins in five league games. Napoli will face Frosinone at home on October 10, and McTominay's involvement could provide a significant lift to the squad's morale and performance.
