The Scotland star attended an award ceremony with Cam Reading, just one day after the news of his heart sugery emerged
Despite his recent health news, Scott McTominay appeared to be in high spirits as he stepped out hand in hand with model girlfriend Cam Reading at a glamorous Italian football awards ceremony.
The Scotland midfielder and his girlfriend attended the Gran Gala Del Calcio on Wednesday evening, September 2, where McTominay was named among the best midfielders in Serie A for the 2025/26 season.
Cam later took to Instagram to share a series of snaps from their evening, including pictures of the pair posing hand in hand on the blue carpet. Cam also shared a sweet message of support for McTominay in the caption, writing: “By your side always, so proud of you.”
The model also shared a mirror selfie with the Napoli star, giving her followers a glimpse inside their night at the star-studded event.
Cam looked stunning in a black strappy floor length dress, with her hair swept back into a neat bun, while McTominay looked dapper in a black suit and bow tie.
Fans were quick to react to the photo dump, with many praising the couple while others sent messages of support to McTominay following the news that he is set to undergo minor heart surgery.
Taking to the comment section, one user wrote: “The king and the queen,” referring to the nicknames given to the couple by passionate SSC Napoli supporters, who have dubbed McTominay the King of Naples and Cam the Queen of Italy.
Another fan commented: “So elegant and beautiful,” while a third simply wrote: “Best couple.”
A fourth fan appeared to reference the recent health announcement, wishing the Scotland international well as they wrote: “He will come back stronger, like he always has. Remember that,” along side a blue heart emoji.
The sweet message comes after Napoli revealed earlier this week that McTominay is set to undergo a minor procedure after the club discovered he had a “mild benign arrthythmia”.
The 29-year-old is expected to undergo cardiac arrhythmia ablation in the coming days.
Napoli confirmed the news in a statement on September 1, saying: “Following the onset of a mild benign arrhythmia, Scott McTominay will undergo corrective surgery using a cardiac arrhythmia ablation in the coming days. He will be available again after the international break.”
The news means McTominay will miss the start of a new era for Scotland under Belgian boss Sebastien Pocognoli, with the midfielder expected to be unavailable for the upcoming international fixtures.
However, Napoli have confirmed that he should be back in action after the international break.
Cardiac ablation is a procedure used to treat certain abnormal heart rhythms. The British Heart Foundation explains that heat or cold energy can be used to create tiny scars in the heart, helping to block faulty electrical signals and restore a more regular heartbeat.
The cause of McTominay’s arrhythmia has not been revealed, but the club has described it as mild and benign.
