Soccer great, Pele, hospitalised for urinary infection

source: deccanchronicle.com


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.

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
