Pope Francis will spend a few more days in hospital following his colon surgery, the Vatican confirmed on Monday.
The 84-year-old has been recovering from surgery, which took place eight days ago, to remove a portion of his large intestine at the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome.
The Pope, who was born in Argentina to Italian parents, was cheered up in hospital by Italy‘s victory in the European championship, after the football team beat England 3-2 during a nail-biting penalty shootout.
