Brazil football legend Pele was discharged from hospital on Thursday following surgery to remove a tumor from his colon.
The 80-year-old underwent the operation on September 4 and had been receiving treatment at Sao Paulo's Albert Einstein Hospital for almost a month. Reuters reported that a bulletin from the hospital said Pele would now undergo chemotherapy.
"When the path is difficult, celebrate each step of the journey," Pele wrote on an Instagram post with doctors from the hospital. "Focus on your happiness. It's true that I can't jump anymore, but these past few days, I've been punching the air more times than usual.

The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications devices, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers on Thursday, according to two sources with direct knowledge of his congressional briefings.
