    Doctors say Pele is expected to be discharged from a Brazilian hospital on Tuesday, two weeks after being admitted to treat a urinary tract infection.

    The Albert Einstein hospital said Monday the soccer great "continues to improve" and there are "no signs of the infection'' that prompted his hospitalization on Nov. 24. The infection stemmed from surgery on Nov. 13 to remove kidney stones.
