Napoli have announced that Scott McTominay's recent heart surgery "was a complete success", and the Italy-based club said they expect the Scotland midfielder to resume training this month.
The club provided the update on McTominay's condition following the procedure. Napoli did not release further medical details about the nature of the surgery or its exact timing.
The news that McTominay could return to training this month will be of interest to both his club and the Scotland national team as they monitor his recovery. Napoli said only that the operation succeeded and that the player is expected back in training within the month.
Napoli have not yet given a timescale for a return to competitive match play or outlined any staged rehabilitation plan. The club's brief statement did not specify when McTominay might be available for selection again.
