Pele Hospitalised

Pele, 82, considered by many the greatest footballer of all time, was hospitalised in Sao Paulo on November 29 for what his medical team called a re-evaluation of his chemotherapy treatments

Pele has been undergoing regular chemotherapy treatments since being diagnosed with colon cancer last year

Brazilian football great Pele will remain hospitalised for a urinary tract infection in a Sao Paulo hospital, where he was already receiving chemotherapy for a colon tumor, the facility said.

Pele was admitted for treatment on Wednesday and his entourage had expressed hope he would be out within two days.

Football legend Pele was taken to a Paris hospital as a precaution on Wednesday after suffering from a "urinary infection" but is "doing well", according to members of his entourage.

Pele helped inspire Brazil to wins in the 1958, 1962 and 1970 World Cups.

Pele had a prostate surgery last May and this is the the third time in less than a year that the former football legend has been admitted to the hospital.

Three-time world champion Pele, widely regarded as the greatest player of all time, was hospitalised last Monday where early tests showed a urinary infection requiring administration of intravenous antibiotics.

The 74-year-old legendary Brazil footballer was hospitalised at Sao Paulo's Albert Einstein facility as a precaution, according to reports.
