Diego Maradona was recovering Wednesday after an operation for bleeding in his skull, his personal doctor said.
Maradona had a subdural hematoma, which is an accumulation of blood between a membrane and his brain, said Dr. Leopoldo Luque, a neurologist who performed Tuesday's operation.
"He has no type of complication associated with the operation," said Luque, who described the postoperative developments as "excellent."
