Eusebio in hospital

FORMER Portugal and Benfica star Eusebio has been hospitalized after displaying early symptoms of pneumonia. The Portuguese club said in a brief statement on its website on Wednesday that Eusebio has been admitted to Lisbon's Hospital da Luz for treatment, but gave no further details. Eusebio da Silva Ferreira, who was born in Mozambique when it was still a Portuguese colony, became a national icon after his powerful performances in the 1960s for Benfica and the Portuguese national team. He was named one of the 10 best football players of all time by FIFA in 1998.
