"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.
