Soccer great, Pele, hospitalised for urinary infection

Three-time World Cup winner, Pele, undergoes medical evaluation in Albert Einstein hospital, Sao Paulo. The hospital says the Brazilian soccer great is 'stable' after being admitted on Monday. While Brazilian media claims Pele was down with urinary infection, the hospital could not confirm the claim. This is the second time the soccer great would be hospitalised this month. The 74-year old was released from the hospital 10 days earlier after a kidney stones removal.

Pele's achievement (in brief):
  • He won three World Cups as a player.
  • "Football Player of the Century" by world soccer body FIFA,
  • "Athlete of the Century" by the International Olympic Committee.
  • A "national treasure" by Brazil's government.
