Football legend Diego Maradona underwent successful brain surgery on Tuesday night after doctors found a subdural hematoma.
Maradona, widely considered one of the greatest players of all time, was admitted to hospital Monday with symptoms including anemia and dehydration.
While being treated, doctors discovered the hematoma — effectively a small pool of blood that gathers in the material surrounding the brain.
It was removed by Maradona’s doctor in a “routine” operation, and he is now recovering in hospital.
