Brazilian football legend Edson Arantes do Nascimento, 74, known worldwide as Pelé, saw an improvement in his health condition, says a recent medical report, but he is still in the intensive care unit of the Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital, in São Paulo.

Pelé had been admitted for a checkup, during which the urinary infection was detected. A treatment with antibiotics ensued. “The patient has been placed under temporary kidney support treatment, with no need for other therapies,” the report reads.
