The former Brazilian star underwent a series of tests to check the evolution of the tumor that was detected in his colon last September, the medical center said.

Pele underwent surgery for a colon tumor last September after being discovered during a routine examination. The former Santos star is the only player to have won three World Cups in 1958, 1962 and 1970.

"My friends, every day that goes by, I feel a little better. I'm really looking forward to playing again, but I'm still going to recover for a few more days." 

"While I'm here, I'm taking the opportunity to talk a little more, a lot of time with my family and to rest. Thanks again for all the loving messages - we'll be back together soon," Pele posted on Instagram in September.
