McTominay opens up about recent injury and future at Napoli

Napoli star Scott McTominay sees himself at the club for ‘a very long time’ but admits he must ‘manage’ a tendon problem that forced him to miss the last two games.

Napoli and Scotland star McTominay released an exclusive interview with Corriere dello Sport, talking about his future at the club and his recent injury.

McTominay not considering Napoli exit

“My agent hasn’t told me anything about my future,” said the ex-Manchester United midfielder.

“He only talks to the club and me. He has told the press nothing. I’m extremely happy here, I’m a Napoli, and it’s all I’m thinking about. The future is important, and I could see myself here for a long time.

“I admire the fans and the Napeolitans in general. Their attitude is close to that of my home, so I relate to them easily. I love this place.”

McTominay moved to Napoli from Manchester United in 2024 and has already won one Serie A title at the Stadio Maradona.

Last season, he was named the league’s best player.

“Difficulties have been minimal, my family is happy, and I’m happy. It’s a fantastic moment,” he admitted.

“I’ve been experiencing something different for the last one and a half years. As long as everyone in my life is happy, I’m happy too.”

McTominay has missed the last two games due to injury, and his return against Atalanta over the weekend remains uncertain.

“I have a problem with my tendon that needs to be managed. It’s not easy,” he explained.

“I’m giving my all to be there on Sunday. As a player, it’s tough to get to the training centre and not train with your teammates. I’m desperate to play, but I must be certain about my status.”

Napoli have been hit by a deep injury crisis in recent months, with many key players, including Kevin De Bruyne and Frank Zambo Anguissa, sidelined for long periods.

Napoli have not won any game without McTominay on the pitch this season, collecting two defeats and one draw.
