What happened

Scott McTominay is back in group training with Napoli after recovering from surgery. The Scottish midfielder, who joined Napoli from Manchester United, had been sidelined for an unspecified period following the operation. His return provides a timely boost for the club as the season progresses, with manager Antonio Conte now able to count on the former United man in central midfield once again.

Chance analysis

McTominay's return to the training pitch is a significant lift for Napoli, who invested heavily in the midfielder when prising him away from Manchester United. Having established himself as a key figure under Antonio Conte, his absence had left a gap in the engine room. With the Scotsman back in contention, Conte regains a physical, box-to-box presence that complements the club's tactical setup, reinforcing their competitiveness across domestic and European fixtures.

Impact

Napoli gain an important midfield option as McTominay returns from surgery, improving squad depth and availability.
