Brazil legend Pele is in hospital for treatment for a colon tumour.
The three-time World Cup winner had surgery to remove a colon tumour in September, with the hospital saying at the time that he would also need to have chemotherapy.
Sao Paulo’s Hospital Albert Einstein said the 81-year-old was in a stable condition and would be discharged in the next few days.
The hospital also said Pele was now “continuing” his treatment
