McTominay Resumes Napoli Training After Medical Clearance

Napoli said Scott McTominay has resumed training with the squad after further medical tests found him fit to play, following treatment for a heart arrhythmia. The club’s announcement clears the midfielder to return to team training, but does not confirm whether he will be selected for Napoli’s scheduled match against Frosinone on Saturday, October 10. McTominay, 29, underwent a planned procedure in Manchester in September to treat what reports described as a mild or benign arrhythmia. Napoli said he had continued individual preparation while awaiting further diagnostic tests. The club reported that the latest results showed he was fit to play and that he had returned to training with his teammates. The reports describe his status in different terms, ranging from clearance for competitive football to permission to rejoin team training. They agree that he is back with the squad, but do not establish that he is ready for match minutes. One account said his return to full fitness would be progressive and suggested he could be considered for the bench against Frosinone; Napoli’s selection plans have not been confirmed.
