Pelé was taken to hospital on Monday with an urinary infection, it was reported in Brazil. It is the second time in two weeks that he has been admitted for treatment.
The 74-year old former Brazil player entered the Albert Einstein hospital in São Paulo but officials there released only a brief statement with no details about his condition.
He had an operation at the same hospital on 12 November to remove kidney stones and was discharged on 15 November.
Pelé won three World Cups as a player – in 1958, 1962 and 1970 – and has also been named football player of the 20th century by Fifa.
