Brazilian football legend Pele remains in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) but is making a satisfactory recovery after undergoing surgery for a suspected colon tumor, his doctors said Friday.
Pele’s medical team at the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo said in a statement that he was “actively conversing and displaying vital signs within normal range.”
Pele, 80, took to Instagram to reassure his fans.
“My friends, with each passing day I feel a little better. I’m looking forward to playing again, but I’m still going to recover for a few more days,” he said.
