Scott McTominay is recovering well after a successful heart operation this morning. ❤️
The Scotland hero underwent an ablation procedure at Spire Manchester Hospital. 💪
The Napoli midfielder will rest for two weeks before returning to training, which will rule him out of Scotland's four Nations League matches in September and October. 🏴
Get well soon Scott! 🙏

This might be one of the most remarkable ways I’ve ever seen football keep someone in the game 👏
Former Middlesbrough and Burnley player Gary Parkinson suffered a devastating stroke in 2010 that left him with locked-in syndrome. He was fully conscious, but unable to move or speak.
Yet his football brain was completely intact ⚽️✅
So his former teammate and then-Middlesbrough manager, Tony Mowbray, found a way to keep him involved.
Gary would watch footage of potential signings and, with help from his family, give his scouting verdict using between one and four blinks.
That detail is incredible 🙌
Today, two of Gary’s former clubs, Middlesbrough and Burnley, face each other, with supporters being urged to get behind fundraising for his 24-hour care.
Football gives you far more than a job. For so many people, it becomes part of who you are.
Never be too quick to judge what somebody still has to offer ❤️

Before Argentina's match against Jordan, there was a beautiful moment in Lionel Scaloni's press conference. ❤️🇦🇷
Legendary journalist Enrique Macaya Márquez stood up to ask whether Lionel Messi would play, prompting applause from everyone in the room.
Scaloni then paid tribute to the iconic reporter:
🗣️ “Honestly, it's a pleasure to answer a question from you. He's covered 18 World Cups, it's incredible, I remember when I was playing for Argentina you were already an eminence in journalism and today you are even more so. If someone else asked me the question I'd surely dodge it, but because it's you I'll answer it. Messi will go to the bench tomorrow. I congratulate you, Enrique, and enjoy the World Cup.”
The pair then posed for a photo together at the end. 🫶
