Scott McTominay Set for Napoli Return Against Frosinone
Scott McTominay has returned to Napoli’s matchday squad after completing his recovery from a surgical procedure to address a mild, benign arrhythmia. Manager Massimiliano Allegri confirmed during his Friday press conference that the midfielder is available for selection ahead of Saturday’s fixture. The operation took place at Manchester’s Spire hospital on September 8 following an initial absence that began after an August 30 appearance against Como.
Allegri Outlines Managed Minutes for Midfielder
While inclusion in the matchday squad marks a significant milestone, a starting berth remains out of reach for Saturday evening. The coaching staff plans to integrate the midfielder gradually, with a scheduled appearance limited to a 20 or 30-minute window off the bench. Medical clearance to resume full training arrived only on Wednesday following a mandatory fortnight of complete rest after the operation.

clubSquad Depth Stretched as Midfield Options Return
The reintegration provides a timely boost for a Napoli roster currently absorbing several physical setbacks across the squad. Midfield depth has faced pressure due to ongoing absences, including longer-term issues for Antonio Vergara and physical concerns surrounding Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa. Additional defensive adjustments see Marianucci and Badiashile reinforcing available options as the fixture schedule intensifies.
“The news is that McTominay will be called up and we will have him available for at least 20-30 minutes.”
