Football star still ill

DIEGO MARADONA was back on a respirator yesterday, doctors said.

The 43-year-old was admitted to the Suizo Argentina Clinic in Buenos Aires a week ago suffering from hypertension and breathing problems later diagnosed as a lung infection.

He was taken off the machine to see how his body would react but, only a few hours later, the medics decided to incubate him and turn on the machine again after he showed signs of breathing difficulties.
