Pele has provided an update on his health after he was discharged from hospital after receiving treatment for cancer.
The Brazilian football great was admitted to the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo on Monday after being diagnosed with colon cancer last year, but was let out on Wednesday with the 81-year-old "in a good and stable" condition. A statement read: "His clinical conditions are good and stable, and the hospital discharge should occur in the next few days."
Pele will continue visiting the hospital at least once a month for check-ups, as well as continuing chemotherapy for a colon tumour that was discovered last September, according to his family. And Pele, who is considered by many the greatest footballer of all time, admitted the treatment was "difficult" but is glad to be home with his family by his side as he shared a picture with his wife Marcia and dog Cacau.
