Legendary Brazilian footballer Pelé was admitted to a hospital in Sao Paulo today. The 80-year-old three-time world champion informed about his hospitalization on Twitter, but also assured fans that he has no serious health problems. He should only undergo scheduled tests.
“People, I haven’t collapsed and I’m looking forward to very good health. I went for a routine examination that I couldn’t have undergone before because of a pandemic,” wrote Pelé, who has been ill from hip surgery eight years ago. According to his deputy, he should be released from the hospital today.
