Maradona, 60, was reportedly taken to the Ipensa clinic in La Plata, about an hour from Buenos Aires. The former Napoli striker was also admitted to hospital in January 2019 with internal bleeding in the stomach. Maradona was taken into hospital in 2004 with severe heart and respiratory problems linked to cocaine use. He later underwent drug rehabilitation in Cuba and Argentina before a stomach-stapling operation in 2005 helped him lose weight. In 2007, he checked himself into a clinic in Buenos Aires to help him overcome alcohol abuse problems.
