Maradona 'recovering well'

Argentine soccer legend Diego Maradona is recovering well from toxic alcohol hepatitis and will spend another two weeks in hospital.

The retired sports ace, 46, was admitted to a Buenos Aires hospital last week after over-indulging in food, alcohol and tobacco.

Guemes Hospital director Hector Pezzello says: "Diego Maradona is in the sixth day of care, maintaining good progress regarding the toxic alcohol hepatitis.

"There has been no deterioration."

Maradona's personal doctor Alfredo Cahe adds that the star will spend two weeks in bed.
