McTominay cleared to return after heart procedure

Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay has been cleared to resume playing after undergoing a procedure to correct a mild heart arrhythmia. The Scotland international has returned to training and is available for selection.

Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay has been cleared to return to action after ​undergoing a procedure to correct a ‌heart arrhythmia, the Italian club said on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old Scotland international underwent a planned ​ablation procedure at Manchester's Spire Hospital ​in September after being diagnosed with ⁠a mild, benign arrhythmia.

McTominay has since ​undergone further tests and been cleared to ​resume sporting activity. He has returned to training with Napoli and will be available for selection ​by coach Massimiliano Allegri.

"Scott McTominay underwent ​further diagnostic tests, which showed that he is ‌fit ⁠to play. The Napoli player therefore resumed training with the rest of the team after the period spent training separately," ​the club ​said ⁠in a statement.

McTominay has not played since August 30 and ​missed Napoli's 3-2 Serie A defeat ​by ⁠champions Inter Milan as well as their Champions League loss to Arsenal.

Napoli, who ⁠are ​ninth in the Serie ​A standings, host sixth-placed Frosinone on Saturday.
