(CNN) --

Pope Francis is slowing down his schedule due to medical checks, the director of the Vatican press office, Matteo Bruni, said in a statement on Friday.

"The pope has slowed down his activity today due to a necessary medical check-up. Therefore, he does not have any appointments on his agenda today," Bruni said.

The pain in his right knee affected many recent activities of Pope Francis.

He needed to sit while he read his Easter message and celebrated the Easter Vigil Mass.

"My health is a bit capricious," Francis told reporters on the return flight from his last trip to Malta in early April.

His right knee is giving him "walking problems," he said.

Among the meetings that Pope Francis had to cancel is the one he was going to hold this Friday with the Argentine Foreign Minister, Santiago Cafiero.
