Maradona, 60, underwent surgery by Luque on November 3.

Luque ruled out discharging Maradona on Monday, saying "the idea is that he does not leave tomorrow," although "he is very lucid and very well."

Maradona was hospitalized on November 2 in La Plata, a city 50 kilometers from Buenos Aires, due to symptoms of anemia and depression.

At that health center, doctors detected a blood clot the next day, caused by a blow to the head, and transferred him to the Olivos Clinic.
