Brazilian soccer legend Pelé has been hospitalized as he battles cancer, his daughter said on social media on Wednesday, adding that there was “no surprise or emergency” involved.

Kely Nascimento’s post to Instagram came after ESPN Brasil reported that Pelé had been admitted to Albert Einstein Hospital with “general swelling” and was undergoing several tests for more in-depth assessment of his health issues.

“Lots of alarm in the media today concerning my dad’s health. He is in the hospital regulating medication,” Nascimento wrote. “There is no emergency or new dire prediction. I will be there for New Years and promise to post some pictures.”
