Former United midfielder Scott McTominay has returned to training with Napoli after a planned procedure for a mild heart rhythm condition. The recovery timeline and his likely comeback.
Scott McTominay, who left United for Napoli, has returned to training two weeks after a successful planned procedure for a mild heart rhythm condition.
What happened
The 29-year-old underwent a planned procedure for what the Manchester Evening News describes as a mild, benign arrhythmia, a condition in which the heart can beat too fast, too slow or unevenly. It has kept him out of Napoli's last four games in all competitions.
Where he is now
Napoli reported on their website that the squad kept training during the international window and that McTominay returned to their training centre, working separately in the gym.
The club shared a photo of him on an exercise bike.
Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport says he hopes to be available for the game against Frosinone after the break.
The recovery timeline
This matches what Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna said before the procedure: about 28 days to be fit for sport because McTominay would be taking anticoagulant medication, with two weeks of rest before returning to non-contact activity.
McTominay made his name in United's academy and first team before joining Napoli. Reporting from the Manchester Evening News, with information from Napoli's website.
