The good news is that he seems to have come through the surgery OK.

Quote

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Diego Maradona was recovering Wednesday after an operation for bleeding in his skull, his personal doctor said.

Maradona had a subdural hematoma, which is an accumulation of blood between a membrane and his brain, said Dr. Leopoldo Luque, a neurologist who performed Tuesday’s operation.

“He has no type of complication associated with the operation,” said Luque, who described the postoperative developments as “excellent.”

Luque said the problem likely was caused by an accident, but Maradona said he doesn’t remember the event.

Luque was cautious about when Maradona might be able to leave intensive care at the private clinic in La Plata on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, saying that progress was “day to day.”

Diego Maradona: Argentina legend to be treated for alcohol dependency after leaving hospital -- BBC Sport

Argentina legend Diego Maradona was discharged from hospital on Wednesday and taken to a recovery clinic to be treated for alcohol dependency.

Maradona, who led his country to World Cup triumph in 1986, had a successful operation for a blood clot on the brain earlier in November.

However, alcohol withdrawal symptoms kept him in hospital for longer.

"The good thing is that Diego is together, Diego is solid," his lawyer, Matias Morla, said.

Maradona was admitted to the Ipensa clinic in Buenos Aires last week with anaemia and dehydration.

Only a few close friends will be allowed to visit the 60-year-old at the rehabilitation clinic.

"Diego has gone through maybe the most difficult moment of his life and I think it was a miracle that they found this bleeding in his brain that could have cost him his life," his lawyer added.

All things considered, to reach 60 years seems like an achievement! Hopefully he can get the treatment he needs and make a full recovery.

Yeah,seems Diego's had a non-stop party since the 80's when he joined Napoli and must be a massive amount of all kinds of shit he's put in his body since then.

Had a good friend who passed away about 20 years ago,his heart gave out after just 8 months of something similar so it's kind of a miracle he's still with us.

Reports in Argentina that Maradona has died

World upheaval: Diego Armando Maradona died
He suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest in the house in Tigre where he had settled after his head operation.

Very sad if true. Asif Kapadia's film from 2019 is a brilliant piece of work, for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Probably not a surprise yet still a massive shock. Seeing those images from the 80s they look so iconic now. As a 7 year old watching Mexico 86 I probably hated him for the Hand of God goal but as the years went on the funnier that got, and his incredible genius stood out.

I remember reading a good biography of him by Jimmy Burns back in the day, might have to dig that out again.

Awful news. I watch quite a lot of Argentine football and the reception he got at basically every ground he went to when he was Gimnasia boss was incredible, I'd put it on just to see him coming out at a home or away game. Enjoyed the netflix programme on his time in Mexico too, he's some character. Must have felt 10 feet tall playing for him! Sadly didn't see much of him as a player but obviously seen loads of vids and stuff, genius. RIP.

Quite simply put, the most talented player with the ball at his feet the world has ever seen.

Such a shame that his off-field life dominates his story. Absolute genius.
