Pele condition improving

Brazilian superstar Pele is continuing his recovery from a urinary tract infection.

The Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo said the 74-year-old three-time World Cup winner is under "semi-intensive" care.

Pele was admitted to hospital on November 24 after being diagnosed with a urinary tract infection that stemmed from a November 13 operation to remove kidney stones.

Pele remains in the room he was transferred to five days ago for kidney support treatment but his condition is not being monitored as closely as it was when he was admitted.

Another evaluation is due to be carried out on Wednesday.
