Three-time World Cup winner Pele was taken to hospital with a urinary infection. This is the second time this month he has been admitted for medical treatment.

The 74-year old former Brazil player was admitted to the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo, which released a statement Monday night declaring that the football icon remains in a stable condition, and gave no further details. Widely regarded as the finest player to play the game, he had an operation to remove kidney stones earlier this month.

Pele was named "Football Player of the Century" by world soccer body FIFA, "Athlete of the Century" by the International Olympic Committee,and a "national treasure" by Brazil's government.
