Brazilian football legend Pele has been moved out of intensive care in Sao Paolo, after being admitted to undergo treatment due to a urinary infection.
A hospital statement revealed that he was doing well without medical complications, and was lucid and eating well. The hospital has confirmed that the former striker could walk around his room and was receiving semi- intensive care.
It further said that his kidney functions would be assessed again, the Mirror reported.
Widely regarded as the finest player to play the game, Pele had an operation to remove kidney stones earlier this month.
Pele won three World Cups as a player and has been named Football Player of the Century by FIFA, Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee and a national treasure by Brazilian government.
