A miracle saves the life of former Argentine star Diego Maradona
The doctor of the former Argentine star, Diego Maradona, revealed to reporters that the football legend had left the hospital, heading to a rehabilitation center for treatment of alcohol addiction.
On Tuesday, Maradona underwent emergency surgery to treat a blood clot on the brain.
The Argentine legend stayed in the hospital longer than expected, due to withdrawal symptoms as a result of his sudden alcohol withdrawal.
The doctor added, "quoting Russia Today," that the latter finally left the hospital on Wednesday evening, in an ambulance accompanied by his family members.
He said: Maradona went directly to a rehabilitation center in the north of the capital, Buenos Aires, where he will spend a period of time recovering from his alcohol problems.
Meanwhile, Maradona's lawyer announced earlier that he is in good health and ready to fight the disease.
"Diego wants to undergo rehabilitation and he is very tough," lawyer Matthias Morla told reporters.
"Diego probably went through the most difficult moment of his life and I think this brain hemorrhage was a miracle because it would have cost him his life," Morla said
