Pele released from hospital

Brazil legend Pele has been released from hospital after undergoing surgery for a colon tumor.

The 80-year-old had the operation at a Hospital in Sao Paulo on 4 September.

Pele, the only player to win the World Cup three times, left the intensive care unit 10 days later, but was readmitted soon after as a preventative measure.

The football legend had been having treatment at the hospital since 31 August after the tumor was detected in routine tests.
