The football legend, 58, had failed to show up for training at Mexican side Dorados where he is now a coach. It has now emerged that he has been admitted after internal bleeding in his stomach was detected during a routine check up. Maradona will undergo an endoscopy at a clinic in Olivos, with children Gianna, Janita and Diego Jr at his side. Maradona was expected to return to Mexico for Dorados' first Ascenso MX season clash against Celaya. He also suffers from arthritis in both knees with the Argentine requiring a walking stick on the touchline last season.
