Football legend Maradona recovering in hospital

Football legend Diego Maradona remained in hospital for alcoholic detoxification, two days after being admitted, with a psychiatric nurse by his side, the hospital director said.

“Maradona remains under treatment with sedatives, … and support medications. There have been new routine tests, which have shown acceptable results,” Hector Pezzella, the medical chief at Guemes Hospital, told reporters.

Pezzella said that while Maradona, 46, was “fully into a period of recovery,” he was drowsy given the sedatives he has been receiving “to avoid withdrawal symptoms.”
“He is stable and is progressing very well … he did wake up and he ate breakfast,” Pezzella added, noting that eating on his own was a sign of progress.
