Pele: The three-time World Cup winner continues to improve after a kidney problem
Pele continues to show signs of improvement and is up and walking, nine days after he was admitted to hospital with a kidney infection.
The Brazilian three-time World Cup winner remains in "semi-intensive care" at the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo.
Pele, 74, was admitted on November 24 after being diagnosed with a urinary tract infection that stemmed from an earlier operation to remove kidney stones. He has only one kidney, having had one removed towards the end of his playing career.
The latest statement from the hospital was signed by doctors Fabio Nasri and Marcelo Costa Batista, and the hospital's medical director Dr Oscar Pavao.

It read: "Patient Edson Arantes do Nascimento (Pele) continues with his clinical improvement and is in semi-intensive care. Clinical tests and laboratory results in the morning today were adequate and the patient does not need renal support.
"A new evaluation of the kidney is scheduled for tomorrow (Thursday) morning. He continues without fever, is walking in his room and spending a large part of the day sitting in a chair. He is eating well, without haemodynamic or respiratory changes."
