Maradona bitten on face by his own dog

Argentina football coach Diego Maradona has undergone plastic surgery on his face after being bitten by one of his dogs.

The 49-year-old was admitted to the Sanatorio Los Arcos clinic in Buenos Aires on Monday after suffering an injury to his top lip, hospital spokesperson Izarriaga Facundo told CNN.

He is doing well after undergoing reconstructive surgery last night and will be discharged later on Tuesday, the spokesperson added.

Maradona spent several weeks in the same clinic in 2007 after developing serious health problems.
