Football legend Pele recovering well after being re-admitted to hospital
Brazilian football icon Pele is in a “stable” condition
following his readmission to an intensive care unit for respiratory problems,
days after undergoing surgery for a suspected colon tumour.
Pele was discharged earlier this week but returned to Sao
Paulo’s Albert Einstein Hospital on Friday for “a brief respiratory
instability”.
The 80-year-old football great was initially admitted to an
ICU as a “preventive measure” and had later been moved to “semi-intensive
care”. He is now “stable from a cardiovascular and respiratory point of view”,
the hospital said.
On September 6, he underwent
surgery for a suspected colon tumour, which was detected during
routine tests. He left the ICU unit on Tuesday, telling his fans on social
media that he was recovering well.
