Brazilian legend Pele - on Thursday - took to Twitter to announce to the world that he is not seriously ill.
There have been rumours regarding Pele's health, but the 74-year-old ex-attacker rose to ease fears that his health deteriorated while being treated for a urinary tract infection.
Pele used his official Twitter account to deny the reports that said his condition worsened and that he was put in intensive care.
"I want to take this opportunity to let you know that I am doing fine," he said.
"I was not put into intensive care today, I was simply relocated to a special room within the hospital for privacy purposes only."
"I am blessed to receive your love and support, and thank God this is nothing serious."
"I am looking forward to spending the upcoming holidays with my family, and will start the new year with renewed health, with many international trips already planned! Thank you!"
The three-time World Cup winner successfully underwent surgery to remove kidney stones on November 13 - but was readmitted for a urinary tract infection.
