National Teams, the Scots of Napoli on the field against Belarus

The matches valid for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers continue. Many Napoli players have left the team to join their National teams. Among them are Gilmour and McTominay, indispensable in Scotland's midfield, and fresh from winning the league title.

The former Chelsea player did not start in the last match against Greece. However, it is impossible for coach Clarke to leave Napoli's number 8, last season's Serie A MVP, on the bench. Yet, after scoring on the first day, he is facing quite a few challenges coexisting with the new signing De Bruyne, who is in the position that belonged to the former United player last year.

There is much anticipation to see McTominay's performance in particular, as he is eager to prove that his performance last year was not an isolated case but that he is one of the strongest midfielders around.

Gilmour is confident of this, as he stated in an interview with the Daily Mail, expressing his certainty about the strength of his teammate and National team member, ready to dazzle Serie A and its fans once again as he has accustomed us to.
