The 74-year-old player was cleared by doctors to return home on Saturday, three days after undergoing surgery to remove kidney stones. "Thanks to all my fans from around the world who expressed their concern and wished me a quick recovery," Pele said on Twitter. "I dedicate everything that I have to you. I am well and I will recover well. I am very grateful for the affection and support." Pele was admitted to hospital with abdominal pains on Wednesday, just hours after canceling a scheduled appearance at the Pele museum. AB/IINA
