Diego Maradona checks into spa to combat stress levels and weight• Maradona will be aiming to lose five kilos, says his doctor • Argentina coach stressed after losing to Brazil and ParaguayDiego Maradona is in Italy to receive medical treatment to combat his weight increase and rising stress levels following Argentina's two straight losses in World Cup qualifying. The Argentina coach will meet Dr Henri Chenot after his team lost 3-1 to Brazil and 1-0 to Paraguay to drop out of the automatic World Cup qualifying places. "Maradona travelled to Italy to check into a spa he knows where he will do a diet to lose five kilos," his personal doctor, Alfredo Cahe, said. "He is fine, a lot better than many people think, he is serene." Argentina have won six matches and lost four since Maradona took over in November 2008. Those losses include a 6-1 thrashing by Bolivia and a 2-0 defeat to Ecuador. Maradona, who captained Argentina to the 1986 World Cup, underwent a stomach stapling operation in 2005 following his extreme weight gain as a result of alcohol and drug addictions. www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/sep/15/diego-maradona-argentina-weight-loss
