Rome CNN — Pope Francis is expected to be discharged from hospital on Saturday, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said Friday in a statement. Francis, 86, was hospitalized on Wednesday for the treatment of a respiratory infection.

He will participate in a Palm Sunday Mass service in St Peter’s Square, Bruni added on Friday.

The Pontiff had pizza for dinner on Thursday together with medical and police staff, and Friday “after breakfast, he read some newspapers and resumed his work. His Holiness’s return home to Santa Marta is expected tomorrow, following the results of the latest tests this morning,” Bruni said.

Bruni had earlier revealed that Francis was given antibiotics to treat infectious bronchitis during his stay in hospital.
