  "account": "Scott McTominay has received the all clear to resume work with Napoli and Scotland following his heart surgery for a mild benign arrhythmia. The irregularity was detected by Napoli medical staff using wearable technology during matches and training sessions. The player opted for a minor ablation operation, which resolved the arrhythmia, and was successfully performed on September 8 at the Spire Hospital in Manchester. McTominay underwent a two-week rest period before resuming training alone, limited to the gym or with the ball on the field. Italian laws required him to pass a CONI fitness test before resuming training with his teammates. He cleared that test today, allowing him to return to work with coach Max Allegri and the Napoli squad. A progressive return to full fitness is expected, and McTominay may be on the bench for Saturday's Serie A match against Frosinone.",
