Maradona is under medical observation after a brain surgery

Argentine legend Diego Maradona underwent brain surgery for a hematoma late Tuesday evening, local time, but he is still under surveillance, his doctor Leopoldo Luque said.

"The hematoma was removed, and Diego responded well to the operation. Everything is under control. He woke up but he will remain under observation," said Loki, after undergoing the operation, which lasted about two hours, in a private clinic in Buenos Aires.

Maradona was rushed, Tuesday afternoon, to the private clinic of La Plata Hospital, where he had been since Monday, suffering from anemia and dehydration.

Groups of Maradona supporters gathered in front of the clinic in Olivos, carrying slogans in support of their favorite star, including one with the phrase "Come on, Diego" and received news of the success of the surgery by chanting his name and singing songs in support of him.

Oscar Medina came with his wife to support the Argentine star "in order to support the best player of all time," he said.

He added, "Once again, Diego suffered from health problems, but he has an antibody and will recover with the support of the people," before adding, "We love you, Diego Armando!"

As for Matthias de Seusio, he said: "I feel deeply saddened and unable to do anything, but we will remain by his side until the last day."

Loki had reassured the supporters of the Argentine star, who won the World Cup in 1986 with his country, that his health was improving and that he wanted to leave the hospital on Tuesday morning, telling reporters who gathered outside the private clinic in La Plata, south of the capital Buenos Aires, "It is much better than yesterday, he wants to leave, I hope." If only another day remains. "

He added, "He suffers from anemia, and he is slightly dehydrated. We must correct that and make sure that his health improves," noting that the world champion in 1986 "had a good night" and that he was "in a good mood."

But Loki came back and confirmed in the afternoon that the x-rays that Maradona underwent showed the presence of a blood flush in the brain, which would require surgery, noting that the operation "is a routine procedure and nothing more."

The football legend, who celebrated his 60th birthday a few days ago, took the two to the hospital for medical examinations, according to Loki, who ruled out any relationship between his current health condition and the new Corona virus that is sweeping Argentina, placing a large part of it in quarantine.

"He is an elderly patient who has had a lot of stress in his life. It is a time when he needs our help. It is very difficult to be a Maradona," Loki said at the time.

"Diego is fine, although he can be much better," said Loki, adding, "He was not in a position that I would like to see him in. I had spoken to him previously, and I told him: + Let's go to a clinic to get a little better +", and he answered me : “Well, let's go.”

And the introduction of the current coach of Khamnazia Asgriema came a week after he was placed in quarantine as a preventive measure after one of his contacts showed symptoms of the Corona virus, as revealed by local newspapers last Tuesday.
