Maradona out of hospital

Argentine football great Diego Maradona was released from hospital after being admitted earlier on Friday with internal bleeding in the stomach which was discovered during routine examinations, his daughter Dalma said.

"For those who were really worried about my dad I can tell you that he is well," Dalma wrote on Twitter after fears over her father's health spread. "He is going home soon."

The 58-year-old was having a routine medical in his homeland before returning to Mexico, where he is coach of second division side Dorados de Sinaloa, when doctors discovered the problem.

However, a source close to the family told Reuters the problem was not serious and that Maradona, who famously led his country to the 1986 World Cup title, was not in any danger.

Another source said Maradona may have to undergo more tests.

The news of his admittance came just hours after Maradona's lawyer confirmed he would coach in Mexico for a second consecutive season.
