Brazil and Real Madrid legend Roberto Carlos is “recovering well” after undergoing what he described as “a preventative medical procedure”.
The former left-back, 52, updated fans on his condition via his Instagram page, which included a picture of him smiling in a hospital bed.
“I recently underwent a preventative medical procedure, planned in advance with my medical team. The procedure was successful, and I am well. I did not suffer a heart attack,” he wrote.
Carlos won four La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues across 527 appearances for Real Madrid and lifted the World Cup with Brazil in 2002.
Renowned as a free-kick specialist, his other clubs included Palmeiras, Inter Milan, Fenerbahce and Corinthians.
