Pope Francis is expected to return home on Saturday after what will have been three nights in hospital with bronchitis, and will attend Palm Sunday services, the Vatican said.

The 86-year-old has responded well to antibiotics and on Thursday evening shared pizza with staff looking after him at Rome's Gemelli hospital, spokesman Matteo Bruni said.

"His Holiness's return home to Santa Marta is expected tomorrow, in the wake of the results of the latest tests this morning," Bruni said on Friday. Francis' hospitalization, just weeks after he marked 10 years as head of the worldwide Catholic Church, had sparked widespread concern. The treatment resulted in "a marked improvement in his state of health" and he was well enough to eat, work and pray at the private chapel in the hospital suite.
