According to Argentine outlet TyC Sports, all-time great Diego Maradona will require emergency surgery after a scan showed that the legend has bleeding around the brain.
This unsettling news comes after Maradona was rushed to a hospital in La Plata last night, just days after the legend’s 60th birthday.
Maradona is still involved in the beautiful game, as he serves as the manager of Gimnasia La Planta, a top-flight side in his homeland.
Dr Luque has provided an update on Maradona this morning: "He's better than yesterday, the idea is for him to stay [in hospital] one more day.
He's anemic and a little dehydrated."
