Sao Paulo: Football great Pele arrived back in Brazil Tuesday after a six-day hospital stay in France.
The three-time World Cup winner was discharged from a Paris hospital late Monday after treatment for an urinary infection following an appearance at a promotional event in the French capital with France striker Kylian Mbappe.
Pele, 78, left the Sao Paulo-Guarulhos airport in Brazil in a wheelchair and was taken away by van, an AFP reporter said.
