It was gathered from local
media that Pele was readmitted due to urinary infection.
A spokesman for Albert
Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo said he was undergoing “medical evaluation”.

to the hospital, Pele was accompanied by aide Jose Fornos Rodrigues.
It was disclosed that he
was kept under observation for two days that caused him missed a book launch in
his hometown of Santos.
Born Edson Arantes do
Nascimento, the man the world knows as Pele is regarded by many as the greatest
footballer of all time.

Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee.

treatment comes on the day his son, born Edson Cholbi do Nascimento but known
as Edinho, was released from jail in Brazil to appeal a money-laundering conviction.
It would be recalled that
Pele was among iconic figures reported to have been invited to grace the
inauguration of the Akwa Ibom Stadium when it opened on 7 November.
