Brazilian football legend Pele has been released from the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo after undergoing prostate surgery.

Pele was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday for the second time in six months, the BBC reported.

The three-time World Cup winner was treated for a urinary infection after the removal of kidney stones in November 2014.

Pele won three World Cups as a player and has been named Football Player of the Century by FIFA, Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee and a national treasure by Brazil's government.
