Scott McTominay returns as Rasmus Hojlund ruled out for Napoli's PSV clash

Scott McTominay returns as Rasmus Hojlund ruled out for Napoli's PSV clash

The Scotland international was back with the squad on Monday morning after missing Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Torino with an ankle injury.

According to Il Mattino, McTominay trained without restrictions and is expected to be available for selection when Napoli face PSV on Tuesday in their third Group Stage fixture.

McTominay had required three stitches following a training-ground knock last week and was left out of the travelling party to Turin as a precaution.

His return offers a welcome boost for coach Antonio Conte, who is looking to get Napoli back on track after a mixed start to their European campaign.

Hojlund, however, remains unavailable. The Danish forward, who also missed the defeat to Torino, is still recovering from muscle fatigue and has not been deemed fit to travel.

The former Manchester United striker's absence continues to limit Napoli's attacking options, with Giovanni Simeone likely to start again up front.

Napoli have collected three points from their opening two Champions League matches, leaving them eager to build momentum in Eindhoven.

After the European tie, they will quickly turn their attention back to Serie A, where they are set to host title rivals Inter Milan on Saturday, a fixture that could have early implications in the Scudetto race.

Conte will hope McTominay's return adds stability and drive in midfield as Napoli aim to bounce back both in Europe and domestically.
