"Following clinical analyses, resuming renal assistance was not necessary," it added. Media reports said Pele requested a guitar to strum as he continues his convalescence.
The clinic said 74-year-old Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known worldwide as Pele, is now receiving "semi-intensive" care but remains in the same bed as previously.
The hospital said further kidney tests will be conducted tomorrow. Pele was "lucid and eating well" without breathing difficulties while receiving antibiotics intravenously. Initial tests showed that Pele was suffering from a urinary infection.
