Napoli are set for a major boost regarding Scott McTominay's fitness following an injury scare during last night's match between Scotland and Poland.
The attacking midfielder limped off during the nation's 2-1 victory over the Poles in Warsaw on Monday evening.
The former Manchester United man looked to be in pain as he came on the pitch, with Ryan Gauld being sent on by Steve Clarke in his place.
However, according to Sky Italy, McTominay has declared himself fit for Napoli's game this weekend.
After being assessed by Scotland's medical team, the 27-year-old is believed to think he'll be fine to line up against Roma on Sunday evening.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
