Diego Maradona was in stable condition Wednesday as he continued treatment at a psychiatric clinic for alcoholism, the hospital said.
Maradona, after spending most of the past month in two hospitals for treatment of a hepatitis condition blamed on alcohol abuse, was taken to the Avril clinic in the Argentine capital on Saturday for the follow-up treatment.
The statement Wednesday was the first by the clinic, which said it issued the report because of what it described as unconfirmed speculation in local press reports about the health of the Argentine soccer hero.
"We wish to inform that the health of Diego Armando Maradona is stable and without any complication," the clinic said. "He is continuing the treatment plan set out for him."
The 46-yeat-old Maradona led Argentina to the 1986 World Cup.
