Dubai: Diego Maradona has left a private hospital in Dubai after undergoing surgery to remove kidney stones.
A statement released by the Dubai club Al Wasl said the coach and former Argentina great was discharged from the Canadian Specialist Hospital on Monday following his operation Sunday night.
It said Maradona will take a day off to rest and recuperate and is expected to return to the club on Wednesday.
Maradona was admitted to the hospital after complaining of abdominal pains.
Maradona coached Al Wasl to a 2-1 victory over Al Ahli on Saturday. The club's next match is January 23.
The 51-year-old Argentinian great, who coached his country at the 2010 World Cup, has had various health problems over the years, including when he spent 10 days in intensive care with heart and breathing problems in 2004.
After quitting soccer in the 1990s, he battled drug addiction, obesity and alcohol abuse.
He had a gastric bypass operation in 2005 and had a spell in hospital two years later for alcohol-induced hepatitis.
