Pele quips he's not ready for comeback

SAO PAULO - Pele appeared at a World Economic Forum event in Sao Paulo on Wednesday using a walker, but later said his mobility is slowly returning following a second hip surgery.

The 77-year-old Brazilian, a three-time World Cup champion, joked he's not ready to get back to playing soccer anytime soon.

"I am well, but I cannot assure that I will play in the World Cup in Russia," Pele said at the event. "My movements are starting to come back, so it is great."
