Napoli, Gilmour undergoes surgery in London: possible return only in 2026 | OneFootball

Napoli has made official an expected but nonetheless significant announcement: Billy Gilmour will have to undergo surgery to resolve the pubalgia that has been limiting him for weeks. The Scottish midfielder, who arrived last summer, was unable to overcome the issue through conservative therapies and will therefore undergo surgery in the coming days.

Gilmour, extended absence due to pubalgia: surgery scheduled and recovery time to be determined

The Azzurri club, through a statement released this morning, specified that the operation is scheduled for Monday in London. Dr. Gennaro De Luca, a member of the club’s medical staff, will accompany the player during the procedure, present to monitor every phase and plan the subsequent recovery process.

Only after the surgery will the recovery timeline be precisely established, but initial estimates suggest that Gilmour may not return to the field before 2026, a scenario that will inevitably complicate midfield management in the coming weeks. Napoli has confirmed the entire medical situation on its official channels as well, reiterating that the goal is to ensure the player’s return is fully safe and definitive, avoiding relapses or setbacks that would further compromise the season.
