Just Days Before the World Cup! Scott McTominay Reveals His Heart Scare
The Scottish midfielder stunned reporters by revealing that he needed heart treatment just 48 hours before his World Cup debut. An ordeal he had kept private until now.
Speaking at a Scotland national team press conference, Scott McTominay revealed that he received an electrical shock to correct an irregular heartbeat just two days before Scotland faced Haiti at the 2026 World Cup. The Napoli midfielder explained that he was sedated for the procedure but was subsequently cleared to play. Months later, he underwent a separate cardiac ablation.
