Argentina coach Diego Maradona is in Italy to receive medical treatment to combat his weight increase and rising stress levels following his team's two straight losses in World Cup qualifying.



ANSA reported yesterday that Maradona will meet Dr Henri Chenot after Argentina lost 3-1 to Brazil and 1-0 to Paraguay to drop out of the automatic World Cup qualifying places.
