He was hospitalized after health problems, the Vatican tells about the condition

The Vatican has said that Pope Francis is expected to be released from the hospital on Saturday. The return to his residence in Santa Marta depended on the results of the final tests carried out on Friday morning.

The Pope was admitted to Gemelli Hospital in Rome on Wednesday with breathing difficulties. He was later diagnosed with bronchitis, although the Vatican said he had responded well to antibiotics.

According to a statement , the 86-year-old Pope dined on pizza with medical staff on Thursday evening and after breakfast on Friday morning read some newspapers and resumed work.

His admission to hospital came just before the busiest time in his annual schedule, with events and services planned during Easter week.

The Pope was reportedly keen to leave the hospital in time for Sunday Mass this weekend.
