Footballing legend Pele is "recovering well" after being readmitted to a hospital in Brazil, his daughter has confirmed.
The three-time FIFA World Cup winner was first admitted to the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo after a tumour was found.
He was discharged earlier this week but ESPN Brazil reported on Friday evening that he was back in the care of the facility.
After leaving the ICU, Pele said in a message to fans on Instagram that he was ready for "90 minutes, plus extra time."
Now in a post on the same platform, Pele's daughter Kely Nascimento has updated anxious fans who have been nervous to know how the 80-year-old is keeping.
She captioned a selfie with the Brazil icon: "Hi friends. I don't know what is going on with the rumours out there but my DMs are booming!!!
"There's already a lot of anxiety roaming the world these days and we don't want to be the reason for more
"This photo was taken just now. He is wearing a vest because he is Santista and the cold in SP bothers him!
"He is recovering well and within normal range. Promise!
"He doesn't like it when I say this so please don't tell him but he is an O’Keefe gentleman. The normal recovery scenario for a man of his age, after an operation like this , is sometimes two steps forward and one step back.
"Yesterday he was tired and took a little step back. Today he took two forwards!"
