Napoli legend Diego Maradona has told fans he's fine after a health scare.

A routine check-up showed blood in his stomach last week.

However, he was sent home a few hours later and spoke to supporters via social media.

“I want to thank you for the messages of encouragement. I'm fine and sorry to have worried you for no reason.

“I wish to reassure you that there's nothing serious, I am fine. Today I am taking care of my grandchildren Benja, Dieguito Matias and my son Diego Fernando.

“A kiss to you all."
