Former Tottenham and England midfielder Paul Gascoigne is recovering at home after being released from hospital.<\/p>\n
The 58-year-old, who lives in Poole, on England’s south coast, was admitted to intensive care on Friday after being found semi-conscious by a friend.<\/p>\n

However, his management company has confirmed he has now been discharged.<\/p>\n
“Paul voluntarily went into A&E (Accident and Emergency) on Friday after struggling with a throat condition (not by ambulance) he has had for a while,” said a statement from the MNT Agency. “He is already back home and doing well.”<\/p>\n
Gascoigne, who won 57 caps for his country, was discovered by Steve Foster, who works as his driver and personal assistant.<\/p>\n
He was treated by intensive care staff and later moved to an acute medical unit, where his condition was said to be stable, and he has since been released.<\/p>\n

One of the most naturally gifted footballers of his generation, Gascoigne played for Newcastle, Tottenham, Lazio, Rangers, Middlesbrough and Everton.<\/p>\n
He became a global star after his eye-catching performances at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where England reached the semi-finals, and he also impressed at Euro 96.<\/p>\n
The midfielder’s issues with alcohol addiction and depression are well-documented and he has suffered a series of health problems in recent years.<\/p>\n
In 2020, Gascoigne said he had turned his life around after having anti-alcohol pellets sewn into his stomach.<\/p>\n
But last year, he admitted on the High Performance podcast that he was a “sad drunk” living in a spare room at the home of his agent.<\/p>\n
