Maradona was admitted to the Ipensa clinic in La Plata, south of Buenos Aires, two weeks ago, with what was initially thought to be dehydration and anemia. Later, a blood clot was detected in his brain. Maradona underwent emergency surgery on November 3.
Maradona had begun his professional career with Argentinos Juniors at the age of 16 and he went on to become one of the greatest players to ever play the game of football. The ace footballer represented Boca Juniors, Barcelona, Napoli, Sevilla, and Newell's Old Boys as a player. Diego was considered the main player in taking Argentina to their second World Cup title in 1986.
