BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - Doctors removed former soccer star Diego Maradona from a respirator Friday, but he remained in intensive care for a sixth consecutive day battling severe heart and lung problems.The medical team treating the 43-year-old Maradona said it "suspended" use of a breathing tube at midday, replacing it with a plastic mask to provide him with oxygen.The doctors said in a statement they continued to administer medicines to treat a heart inflammation and lung infection."The respirator was suspended. He continues to make progress," it said.Days after his hospitalization, Maradona's steadfast fans continued their vigil by burning candles, chanting his name waving banners outside the downtown Buenos Aires clinic.
"If your heart gets healthy, so will mine!" read one new banner strung up Friday by fans.
The crowd has built a shrine of sorts to their idol with posters of a youthful, leaner Maradona from his athletic heyday in the 1980s.Fans planned a rally Saturday outside the hospital. Organizers handed out leaflets urging people to turn out in the blue-and-yellow jersey of Maradona's former team, Boca Juniors.But Boca Juniors club president Mauricio Macri said he would discourage any noisy display outside a hospital.

Maradona, in his first public statement in 10 days in intensive care with heart and lung problems, thanked fans for their support. The sign reads: 'Diego, get well soon, God is with you, You're the greatest.'
