RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazilian football legend Pele has been released from hospital after recovering from a urinary infection, according to widespread reports in Brazilian media.
The 78-year-old was admitted to the American Hospital of Paris on April 2 after attending an event with Paris Saint-Germain and France forward Kylian Mbappe.
According to the Globo Esporte news portal, the former Brazil No 10 was preparing to fly back to Brazil early on Tuesday.
