Television cameras even showed him firing off a double middle-fingered salute at an unknown target in the moments that followed Rojo’s goal.ESPN Brazil also reported that Maradona had been taken to hospital. London’s Independent newspaper, citing an unnamed “Argentina source,” reported Maradona had been “stabilized.”Later Tuesday night, Cora shared updates on his Twitter account from the president of the Latin American TV network TeleSUR, showing Maradona allegedly preparing to board a flight and later on a flight to Moscow.| PRINT | RSSAdd CommentSINA English is the English-language destination for news and information about China.
