Urinary Infection: Football legend Pele leaves hospital
Brazilian football great Pele has been discharged from hospital following a urinary tract infection (UTI).
The Brazil legend was admitted to Sao Paulo’s Hospital Albert Einstein on February 13 to treat a colon tumour.
Doctors discovered a UTI eight days after he was admitted but said on Monday that the issue had been resolved.
A statement from the hospital said, “The patient’s clinical conditions are stable, and he is cured of his infection. He will continue his treatment for the colon tumour, identified in September 2021.”
The 81-year-old was previously re-admitted to the hospital for treatment on his tumour on December 8, before being discharged on December 23.
A three-time FIFA World Cup winner, Pele is one of only four players to score in four different World Cups.
He remains Brazil’s all-time leading goalscorer with 77 goals in 92 games, seven goals ahead of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Neymar (70).
