Pele leaves hospital today

Two weeks after hospitalisation, Pele will be discharged from an hospital in Sao Paulo on Tuesday following doctors' report that the soccer great is now in good condition. Pele, 74, who was admitted into Albert Einstein hospital on November 24 on account of urinary tract infection, had earlier been admitted on November 13 to have kidney stone surgery done on him. The national hero, who was relegated to the intensive care unit of the hospital, was transferred to private room on Saturday. In a video message that showed him playing a guitar, Pele thanked his fans for their support. The three-time World Cup champion and worldwide soccer ambassador, who had a kidney removed as a player, is seen by many as the greatest player ever.
