BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro is expected to be discharged from the hospital "in the coming days" following major abdominal surgery last month to treat an intestinal obstruction, his medical team said on Saturday.

The far-right leader was taken off intravenous nutrition on Saturday, according to the statement, which added that visits remain restricted for now.
