SAO PAULO (Reuters) -Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, undergoing hospital treatment for an obstructed intestine after a near-fatal 2018 stabbing, said on Friday he hoped to be "back in action soon," while doctors gave no date yet for him to be discharged.

Bolsonaro, 66, has been in hospital since Wednesday, when he traveled from Brasilia to Sao Paulo for treatment relating to complications from the 2018 knife. After initial concerns he might need emergency surgery, doctors now say he is improving, with an operation less likely.
