Pele heading home from hospital

PARIS - Soccer great Pele has been discharged from hospital in Paris and will return home to Brazil in the "coming hours," Brazilian media reported on Monday.

The 78-year-old's discharge came after compatriot Neymar paid him a visit in hospital in the suburbs of the French capital.

The Paris Saint-Germain forward on Monday posted a photo on his Instagram account of himself alongside a smiling Pele in his hospital bed with the two holding hands.
