McTominay makes Napoli comeback 4 weeks after heart surgery Scott McTominay was given a standing ovation as he made his return to the field for Napoli, a month on from surgery to correct a benign cardiac arrhythmia. The Scotland international only played in the first two Serie A matches this season against Genoa and Como, the most recent on August 30. McTominay back after health scare Scott McTominay trains in the gym after recovering from a minor heart procedure (via www.sscnapoli.it) He was diagnosed with a mild, benign arrhythmia, and it was decided that he should have heart surgery to correct the issue. That was performed in Manchester on September 8 and it required two weeks of complete rest, followed by a gradual return to training. The 29-year-old required a set of tests with the CONI (Italian Olympic Committee), which oversees all sport in Italy, before he was allowed back in full training with his Napoli teammates.
