Pelé leaves hospital in “good” condition

Brazil’s football icon Pelé has left the hospital in Sao Paulo after an examination in the course of his colon cancer treatment.

As the clinic announced, the condition of the 81-year-old was “good and stable”. Pelé had been in the Albert Einstein Hospital since Monday.

According to his family, Pelé is in the hospital at least once a month for check-ups and to continue chemotherapy for the colon tumor discovered last September. In February, his stay lasted longer due to a urinary tract infection.
