Pele admitted to hospital again
Reports suggest that Brazil legend Pele has undergone back surgery.
Pele has been admitted to hospital for the third time in less than 12 months, with reports he has undergone back surgery.
The three-time World Cup winner was admitted to the Albert Einstein hospital in Sao Paulo last November with a urinary tract infection and then again in May for prostrate surgery.
A press officer for the facility confirmed Pele's hospitalisation, but no other details were disclosed.
The 74-year-old won the World Cup in 1958, 1962 and 1970, and is his country's record goalscorer with 77.
