Pele is feeling better

Pele is likely to be discharged from hospital within a week as he continues to recover from a kidney problem, the soccer legend's son, Edinho, said on Saturday.

Speaking after visiting Pele in the intensive care unit of Sao Paulo's Albert Einstein hospital, Edinho expressed relief at his father's improving condition.

"I am very happy and relieved," Edinho was quoted saying by a local newspaper.
