Billy Gilmour to Undergo Surgery, Faces Extended Absence
Billy Gilmour, midfielder for Scotland and Napoli, is set for an extended period on the sidelines following the club's announcement that he will undergo surgery on Monday.
The Italian Serie A team has not specified the details of Gilmour's injury or provided a timeline for his recovery. The 24-year-old has been unavailable for the past month, reportedly due to a groin issue.
Gilmour missed Scotland's recent qualifiers against Greece and Denmark, as the national team secured their place in the World Cup finals for the first time since 1998.
A brief statement from Napoli indicated: "Billy Gilmour will undergo surgery in London on Monday, accompanied by Gennaro De Luca from the club's medical staff."
This season, Gilmour has made 12 appearances for the Serie A champions but had to leave the field before halftime during his last match—a goalless draw against Como on November 1.
