Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay had successful surgery on a minor heart issue on Tuesday and will return to training in two weeks' time, the Serie A club announced.

The former Manchester United player recently experienced a heart rhythm disorder, which is not considered serious but did require an ablation procedure.

"On Tuesday morning, Scott McTominay underwent an ablation procedure at Spire Manchester Hospital. The operation was a complete success," Napoli said in a statement. "McTominay will rest for two weeks and then resume training."

The 29-year-old has been a key player for Napoli since joining from Manchester United in 2024, scoring 27 goals in 82 matches. However, he was off-form in their opening two Serie A games this season.

Napoli previously confirmed that McTominay would miss Scotland's upcoming Nations League fixtures against Slovenia (twice), Switzerland, and North Macedonia.

Napoli, who have just three points from their opening three Serie A games, host Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday and then face Bologna and Fiorentina before the international break.
