Buenos Aires, Argentina – Diego Maradona underwent successful surgery for a brain haemorrhage imaginable less than a week after his 60th birthday.
“It was all good fortune and went as planned,” Maradona’s PR team said Tuesday night.
Maradona had a subdural hematoma, which is a collection of blood between a membrane and his brain, said his doctor, Leopoldo Luque.
Luque, a neurologist, said the challenge was probably due to an accident, but Maradona said it wasn’t the event.
The wonderful Argentine footballer will rest in his room in a personal clinic on the outskirts of Buenos Aires for at least 48 hours.
Maradona accompanied the clinic through her daughters Dalma, Giannina and Jana and other relatives, according to local media.
The operation ended when the 1986 World Cup champion started at some other clinic in the town of La Plata, where he entered due to anemia and dehydration.
Donato Villani, head of medical staff of the Argentine national team, told TyC Sports tv that surgery usually works well, “but it’s another one with Diego,” mentioning Maradona’s past remedy for the center’s disorders and his drug and alcohol use.
Maradona entered the Ipensa clinic with symptoms of depression on Monday.
Luque said Maradona, whose purpose of “Hand of God” in the quarter-finals of the 1986 World Cup against England is one of the highest debatable in the history of the tournament, had been unhappy for a week and had refused to eat before arriving at the clinic.
Maradona has lived in La Plata since 2019, when he coached Gymnastics and Fencing.
Maradona turned 60 last Friday and showed up that night to the national fitness championship in front of the Board of Trustees, which his team won 3-0, and left before the end of the first half, which raised doubts about his health.
Before being operated on Tuesday, the former star of Barcelona, Naples and Boca Juniors felt better.
“Diego feels much bigger than him and needs to leave,” Luque said Tuesday morning. “He had a good night and we joked.
Maradona brought Argentina to a World Cup name in ’86. He has continued to generate controversy since his heyday as a player, being sent home after the 1994 World Cup in the United States and leaving the game as a coach.
