Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay (29), who recently underwent surgery for an arrhythmia, is poised to return to the pitch.

The club announced on October 7 (local time) that "following medical evaluations and tests, McTominay has been cleared to play and has returned to team training."

McTominay, a Scotland international, left the squad after being diagnosed with a mild arrhythmia and underwent surgery at a hospital in Manchester, England, last September.

McTominay has been sidelined from matches since August 30.

During his absence, Napoli suffered a 3-2 defeat to defending champions Inter Milan in Serie A and lost to Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League.

Napoli, currently 9th in Serie A, will host 6th-place Frosinone on the 10th.

Meanwhile, reports indicate that McTominay's former club, Manchester United (England), is considering re-signing him.
