Why Pele Was Hospitalised by newsnow: 12:47pm On Nov 15, 2014
Brazillian football icon; Edson Arantes do Nascimento better known as Pele, has been hospitalised and he is to undergo a "medical evaluation".



The Albert Einstein hospital did not disclose why Pele was admitted, saying in a statement on Wednesday evening only that he will "undergo exams."

The private Agencia Estado news service and other local media in Brazil say the 74-year-old football great is suffering from stomach pain, but his condition was not serious.

The city of Santos earlier in the day said that Pele canceled his appearance at the Pele Museum in Santos because of "health reasons."

It wasn't clear if Pele would remain hospitalised and no further details were immediately available.
