Argentine former football star Diego Maradona is continuing
to improve while undergoing treatment for acute hepatitis related to alcohol abuse.
Admitted last Wednesday, he is expected to remain in hospital for 15 more days. Maradona, who led the Argentine team to victory in the 1986 World Cup and is revered in his country, has battled cocaine addiction and obesity. "He is showing a clear improvement," said Hector Pezzella, head of the private Guemes clinic in the Argentine capital. Maradona, who had reportedly been admitted against his wishes, was "obeying doctors" and his life was not in any danger, Dr Pezzella said. The 47-year-old is still idolised in Argentina and his fans have been watching and waiting for any news. |
