Pele To Remain In Hospital

Rio de Janeiro : Brazilian football legend Pele will remain in hospital beyond a scheduled stay because of a urinary infection, doctors treating him said on Tuesday (IST). The 81-year-old was admitted to Sao Paulo's Albert Einstein hospital on February 13 to continue chemotherapy after surgery to remove a tumour from his colon in September.

"His clinical conditions are stable and his release should take place in the next few days," read a statement issued by the hospital.

In January, the former Santos and New York Cosmos star said he was feeling well and ready for "the next game", alluding to upcoming chemotherapy sessions.
