  "account": "Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay, who has a history of a mild, benign heart arrhythmia, has been cleared to return to action, the Italian club announced on Wednesday. The 29-year-old Scotland international received a planned ablation procedure at Manchester's Spire Hospital in September. Following additional tests, McTominay has been given the green light to resume sporting activity. He has rejoined training sessions with Napoli and is set to be available for selection under coach Massimiliano Allegri. McTominay had not played since August 30 and missed Napoli's 3-2 Serie A defeat to Serie A champions Inter Milan, as well as their Champions League loss to Arsenal. The Napoli side currently sits ninth in the Serie A table and will face sixth-placed Frosinone in their upcoming fixture on Saturday.",
