The Scottish international underwent the corrective procedure to address the cardiac condition, with club officials confirming the operation was completed without complications. McTominay's absence will impact Napoli's upcoming fixture against Arsenal as the midfielder works through his recovery timeline.
The 27-year-old joined Napoli from Manchester United earlier this year and has been a key addition to the Italian club's midfield. His return to full training within a fortnight suggests a relatively swift recovery, though his participation in upcoming matches will be assessed following his return to group sessions.
Arrhythmia-related procedures have become increasingly common among professional athletes, with many players returning to competitive action within weeks of successful intervention. Napoli will monitor McTominay's progress closely as he advances through rehabilitation protocols.
The midfielder's absence comes during a crucial period of the season as Napoli prepares for European and domestic commitments. The club has not provided a specific timeline for his return to match action, pending further medical assessments.
