Diego Maradona is desperate to be discharged from hospital and doctors are considering letting him move to a house to continue his recovery, it has been revealed.
The Argentina football legend underwent surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain last week, and has since been in hospital in Buenos Aires while he recovers.
Maradona is keen to move out of the medical facility as soon as possible, and now his personal doctor has admitted that medics are considering granting his request.

‘Diego has a very good clinical picture, very favourable in terms of surgery and the withdrawal picture that we had talked about,’ Leopoldo Luque told reporters on Tuesday.
‘A discharge is being considered, he really wants to leave and, although he had already expressed this desire, this is another context and another clinical picture. A patient with great consistency asks us to be discharged and we are ordering the place that will receive him, a comfortable house for his recovery.
‘This is generated thanks to the support of the doctors and the hospital, but above all by the support of their environment, family and representatives. The discharge of Diego is imminent, he is not leaving today but it will be soon.’
Maradona is understood to have been pushing to leave the hospital since last Thursday.
