Napoli and manager Antonio Conte have received concerning news from the international break as Scott McTominay was forced to leave the field early during Scotland’s match against Poland due to an injury to his left ankle.
The Scottish midfielder didn’t suffer any direct contact but appears to have made an unnatural movement while attempting to reach a cross. At the time of substitution, McTominay was seen limping slightly off the field. It’s unclear whether he requested the change as a precautionary measure or due to a more serious injury.
This development has raised concerns for Napoli, who are anxiously awaiting updates on McTominay’s condition. The injury comes at a crucial time for the Italian club as they prepare for upcoming fixtures.
Conte will be particularly worried about the potential absence of McTominay, who has become an integral part of Napoli’s midfield since his arrival. The player’s versatility and work rate have made him a key figure in Conte’s tactical setup.
As of now, there’s no official statement from either the Scottish national team or Napoli regarding the severity of the players injury. Further updates are expected in the coming hours as medical staff assess the situation.
