Maradona undergoes ‘routine’ surgery for stomach bleeding

Argentina’s World Cup-winning captain Diego Maradona is recovering in hospital after successfully undergoing a routine operation for stomach bleeding.

The 58-year old former Boca Juniors and Napoli player discovered the problem in early January during a check-up at a hospital in Olivos, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

Saturday’s operation, to stem bleeding caused by a hernia, was not complicated but aimed to resolve what one source told Reuters were “inconveniences” caused by the issue.
