Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay has rejoined Napoli training after undergoing heart surgery.
The 29-year-old had an ablation procedure in Manchester last month. The minimally invasive treatment, used to correct an irregular heartbeat, was declared completely successful.
Napoli said: “Scott McTominay underwent additional medical examinations on Wednesday, and the results confirmed that he is ready to play.
“Following a spell of individual work, the Napoli midfielder has now returned to training with his team-mates.”
McTominay was taken off in the 56th minute of Napoli’s 2-1 Serie A loss to Como in August. Doctors subsequently detected a mild, non-dangerous arrhythmia, leading to corrective treatment.
According to the NHS,, external an arrhythmia occurs when the heart beats too fast, too slowly or with an irregular rhythm.
The British Heart Foundation states, external that cardiac ablation uses heat or cold energy to form small areas of scar tissue in the heart, blocking abnormal electrical signals and helping restore a normal rhythm.
While recovering, McTominay was unavailable for four Scotland matches, including Tuesday’s Nations League loss to Slovenia.
Scotland are scheduled to face Switzerland and North Macedonia in November.
