MARADONA SURVIVES KIDNEY OPERATION

Argentinian football legend Diego Maradona is expected to return to his coaching duties at Al-Wasl Football Club after being successfully treated for kidney stones at a Dubai hospital.

An official statement issued by the club says ‘Maradona is well and in good health. He will rest for one day (Tuesday) before supervising the training on Wednesday’, said the statement by Al-Wasl.

The 51-year-old reportedly began feeling pain after the club’s match on Saturday, January 14, 2012, and was later admitted to hospital. However, according to a spokesman of the United Arab Emirates club, the treatment on the soccer legend was successful.

‘Maradona has insisted on watching on video the game between Sharjah and Bani Yas (local clubs) that took place yesterday (Sunday January 15 2012) in preparation for the coming game between Al-Wasl and Sharjah’, scheduled for January 23, said the statement.

The 1986 World Cup-winner signed a contract with Al-Wasl in June 2011. A month later, he was involved in a car accident but survived with minor injuries sustained.

He became head coach of the Argentina national team in November 2008, and held the job for eighteen months, until his contract expired after the 2010 World Cup.
