Reuters.- Soccer idol Pelé posted a video on social media Tuesday showing him exercising on a stationary bike at the hospital where he is admitted after undergoing surgery to remove a colon tumor, saying that he felt “a little better” every day.
“Friends, I am sending you this video that my wife made today to share my joy with you. I am surrounded by affection and incentives to feel a little better every day, “said the ex-footballer in the post.
Pelé, 80, had a tumor on the right side of his colon removed on September 4 and has been admitted to Albert Einstein Hospital ever since.
The only footballer to win the World Cup three times has been hospitalized several times in recent years to treat health problems, and is struggling with a hip problem that has already required two surgeries.
