Recent Injury and Availability Update
The midfielder has been unavailable for Napoli’s latest two games due to a tendon problem. While he remains eager to feature against Atalanta this weekend, McTominay admitted the nature of his injury requires careful management. As his return remains unconfirmed, he underlined the emotional difficulty of missing training sessions and matches, expressing determination to rejoin his teammates as soon as possible, though he must prioritise his physical condition.
Season Impact and Club Injury Woes
Since his arrival, McTominay has already secured a Serie A title at the Stadio Maradona and was recognised as the league’s top player last season. In his absence, Napoli have not managed a victory this campaign, recording two losses and a draw. The club’s problems have been exacerbated by an ongoing injury crisis, with key figures such as Kevin De Bruyne and Frank Zambo Anguissa also missing significant game time in recent months.
