RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 24 (Xinhua) -- Football legend Pele was admitted to hospital on Monday for the second time in less than two weeks.
The 74-year-old was taken to Sao Paulo's Albert Einstein hospital suffering from a urinary tract infection.
In a statement late Monday, doctors treating Pele said the three-time World Cup winner was in a stable condition.
Pele was released from the same hospital on November 13 after undergoing surgery to remove kidney stones.
The former Selecao No. 10 has suffered a long list of health problems in the past decade, including emergency eye surgery for a detached retina and a hip replacement.
