Diego Maradona Confirms He's "Fine" After Being Hospitalised During Argentina Match Win Over Nigeria At The World Cup

Argentine football legend Diego Maradona has recovered from his ill-health during  his country's narrow match victory over Nigeria at the World Cup.
The 57-year-old was attended to by paramedic in the box for what was believed to be a drop in his blood pressure before he was taking to the hospital for further check on his health on Tuesday.

In a statement released by the former Barcelona and Napoli star on Instagram, he revealed he declined an instruction from a doctor during the match who asked him to left the stadium and go home.
" I want to tell everyone that I am fine. I was checked by a doctor and he recommended me to go home before second half, but I want to stay because we were risking it all. How could I leave?" he says.

Argentina won the match eventually after Nigeria had equalized from a penalty conceded on Leon Balogun, and will joined Croatia which topped Group D with nine points in the round of last 16.
