Pele moved to special care unit

Brazilian legend Pele has been taken to a special care unit at Sao Paulo hospital.

The 74-year-old was admitted to the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein three days ago after suffering a urine infection and has been recovering since.

Pele took to Twitter on Thursday after receiving a superb amount of support on the social media site.

He wrote: “Hello everyone, I want to take this opportunity to let you know that I am doing fine.

“I was not put into intensive care today, I was simply relocated to a special room within the hospital for privacy purposes only.

“While I appreciate all the visitors that came to see me, I really need to continue my treatment and recovery in peace.

“I am blessed to receive your love and support, and thank God this is nothing serious. I am looking forward to spending the upcoming holidays with my family, and will start the new year with renewed health, with many international trips already planned! Thank you!”

Pele underwent surgery to remove kidney stones on November 13.
