Oct 7 (Reuters) - Napoli ⁠midfielder Scott McTominay has been cleared ⁠to return to action after undergoing ‌a procedure to correct a heart arrhythmia, the Italianclub 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.
