- Brazilian legend in intensive care following surgery
- ‘I am facing up to this match with a smile on my face’
Brazil football great Pelé said on Monday that he was recovering in hospital from surgery to remove a tumour from his colon.
Pelé, the only player to win three World Cups, did not say whether the tumour was malignant but the 80-year-old former Santos and New York Cosmos player said he was feeling good.
