Napoli hope for McTominay and Gilmour boosts for big game vs. Roma

Napoli hope Scott McTominay will be available for a Serie A match against Roma on Sunday, while Billy Gilmour could go on the bench after missing 23 games due to a groin injury.

Napoli are gearing up for a crucial Serie A clash against Roma on Sunday and are hoping their Scottish duo, McTominay and Gilmour, will be available for selection.

Will McTominay be available against Roma?

McTominay missed the latest Coppa Italia match against Como on Tuesday due to a minor muscle problem, and according to Gazzetta, he’s pushing to return to action tomorrow.

Napoli doctors and the coach, Antonio Conte, will assess him today, but McT will do anything he can to be part of the Partenopei’s XI at the Stadio Maradona in 24 hours.

McTominay has played 2846 minutes across 34 appearances this season, scoring ten goals and providing four assists.

How many Napoli games has Gilmour missed due to groin injury?

His compatriot Gilmour is also expected to return to action shortly, as, according to Gazzetta, he’ll be eligible against Roma or in the following match against Atalanta.

Gilmour underwent surgery due to a groin injury at the end of November. He made his last appearance for Napoli on November 1, missing 23 matches with the Partenopei.
