After the procedure he was in the  intensive care unit, however, the legend's daughter Kely Nascimento stated that her father is feeling better and that he will be transferred to a different hospital ward. 

- He is doing well post surgery, he is not in pain and is in a good mood (annoyed that he can only eat jello but will persevere!) - Kely posted on Instagram, as news agencies report. 

As they state, Pele is expected to be released from the hospital in the next few days, to continue his recovery at home.
