McTominay has rejoined the national team for their upcoming Nations League fixtures (PA)

Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay has revealed he required a procedure to shock his heart two days before Scotland ’s World Cup opening match against Haiti.

The issue was caused by a mild, benign heart arrhythmia that first emerged in June, which the Scotland camp initially attributed to a stomach complaint to keep private.

McTominay underwent a corrective cardiac ablation procedure in Manchester in September, causing him to spend a month on the sidelines and miss four international fixtures.
