Diego Maradona has suffered minor injuries in an accident on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

The Argentina legend and his partner Veronica Ojeda were taken to hospital after the car he was driving hit a bus.

Maradona, 50, reportedly hurt his knee and Ojeda her hip, but Dr Oscar Cicco, a director at Hospital de Ezeiza, said they were "in a perfect condition".

He added: "They've hardly suffered any injuries and came to the hospital by themselves as a precautionary measure."

Maradona's mother is currently in hospital and local media reported that he was on his way to visit her when the accident happened in the suburb of Ezeiza.
