Maradona released from hospital after routine operation
Argentina’s World Cup winning captain Diego Maradona was released from hospital yesterday after successfully undergoing a routine operation for stomach bleeding, his lawyer said. The 58-year old coach of Mexican club Dorados de Sinaloa was diagnosed earlier this month with internal bleeding caused by a hernia and went under the knife on Saturday in a hospital on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.
“Diego Maradona has just been released from hospital and is heading home to continue with his recuperation,” the player’s lawyer Matias Morla said on Twitter.
