Pelé, seen by many as the best football player of all time, has been admitted to the intensive care unit due to stomach problems.

On Tuesday, he left the ward after having surgery to remove a tumor on the right part of his colon.

Then he wrote "I have big plans to play 90 minutes with extra time", he then wrote on Instagram.

Pele has had health problems for several years and has not been seen in public especially during that time.
