Argentina football Legend Diego Maradona has shared a video update on his health after a recent knee surgery.

Maradona underwent surgery on his right knee last week but is now able to walk with support – something that has delighted the 58-year-old.

He posted a video on Thursday showing his Instagram followers how his rehabilitation is going before beaming a big smile towards the camera.

‘Today I cheered up, and I could walk only with the bandage,’ Maradonawrote on Instagram.

‘Thank God, and my surgeon @Dr.Eyharchet, I feel very good!

‘I want to thank all of you, my friends, former colleagues, colleagues and followers, for the messages and the good vibes. A big hug to everyone and we go for much more!’

The World Cup winner, who had suffered from arthritis in both knees, took his first steps after the operation at the Olivos privateclinic in Buenos Aires on Tuesday while his knee was heavily bandaged and in a leg brace.

It was the first of two procedures recommended by his doctors.
