Diego Armando Maradona under the knife. Not only in the clinic due to the onset of depression, the Pibe de Oro, admitted this Monday in a hospital in La Plata, will be operated on his head to remove a clot. According to reports from TyC Sports, in the last hours a CT scan has shown a subdural hematoma (a clot in the brain) and will be operated on in the next few hours.

As confirmed to Clarín, Maradona will be transferred and the surgery will be performed as soon as possible, most likely this Wednesday at the Fleni Sanatorium or at the Olivos Clinic. The diagnosis is the same as that suffered by Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and for which she also had to undergo surgery in 2014. From the Gymnastics coach they say that the hematoma was generated “by trauma” and warn that it could be a product from a blow that you have suffered lately. “It may have been a month or five years ago, it is not known,” they say.
Operation maybe 20 Argentines
Diego Maradona is expected to undergo brain surgery around 8pm Argentine time today. This was stated by Leopoldo Luque, personal doctor of the current Gymnastics coach, responding to the journalists present at the entrance of the clinic where the former Napoli champion is hospitalized. “Diego is lucid and very calm,” Luque said. This is a routine operation and he agrees to be operated on. I will perform the surgery myself. The bruise, it was learned, is located on the left side of Maradona’s head and would have formed after an accidental fall at home, to which the former footballer himself did not initially give importance.

What is chronic subdural hematoma?
Chronic subdural hematoma (HAC) is a collection of blood, of venous origin, that accumulates slowly. Blood leaks out of the veins, forming a bulging pocket that puts pressure on the brain. If the bursa is large enough, it can damage or tear nearby brain tissue, which can damage the brain. In other cases, the amount of blood is not significant enough with a better prognosis. Maradona’s clinical picture has worsened in recent weeks and has skyrocketed before his 60th birthday. He was in public in the few minutes that he was able to be present on the gymnastics field for his team’s debut in the Cup.
