Sept 8 (Reuters) - Napoli ⁠midfielder Scott McTominay has had ⁠a successful procedure to correct a ‌heart arrhythmia and is expected to return to training in about two weeks, the Italian club ​said on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old ⁠Scotland international underwent ⁠a planned ablation procedure at Spire Manchester ⁠Hospital following ‌a diagnosis of a mild, benign arrhythmia last week.

"As ⁠was planned, Scott McTominay had an ​ablation procedure ‌carried out at the Spire Manchester ⁠Hospital during ​the morning," Napoli said in a statement. "The surgery was perfectly successful."

"McTominay will observe ⁠a rest period of around ​two weeks before resuming training."

The former Manchester United midfielder sat out Napoli's 3-2 ⁠Serie A defeat by champions Inter Milan on Saturday. He is set to miss Wednesday's Champions League opener against ​Arsenal, as well as ⁠league fixtures against Bologna and Fiorentina.

McTominay is ​expected to resume full ‌training during the upcoming ​international break.
