Roberto Carlos, the legend between Brazil and Real Madrid, described the procedure as “a preventative medical procedure” as “a recovery well.”

The former left-back, 52, kept fans informed of his condition on Instagram, which included a photo of him smiling in a hospital bed.

He also refuted rumors that he had a heart attack.

He wrote, “I would like to clarify recent information that has been circling.”

“My medical team and I recently planned a preventative medical procedure in advance. I’m feeling well and the procedure went well. I didn’t have a heart attack.

I’m recovering well, looking forward to returning to full fitness, and resuming my professional and personal commitments soon.

“I sincerely appreciate everyone’s messages of support, concern, and care.” There is no reason to worry, in my opinion.

The entire medical staff for taking care of me is in my heart.

In addition to his 527 Real Madrid appearances, Carlos won four La Liga titles and three Champions League titles, as well as the 2002 World Cup victory over Brazil.
