    Pele now in stable condition, hospital says

    Brazilian soccer great Pele remains in stable condition after being hospitalized this week as he battles colon cancer, a hospital medical report said on Saturday.

    Pele, 82, has also responded well to treatment for a respiratory infection diagnosed this week and his condition has not worsened in the last 24 hours, medical staff at Sao Paulo’s Albert Einstein Hospital said.

    Pele – one of the greatest footballers of all time if not the greatest – was admitted to hospital on Tuesday to re-evaluate his cancer treatment.

    He had a tumor removed from his colon in September 2021 and has been receiving hospital care on a regular basis.

    “He is still undergoing treatment and remains in stable condition,” the medical staff said.

    The latest medical note came after newspaper Folha de S.Paulo reported earlier in the day that Pele – whose full name is Edson Arantes do Nascimento – had been receiving palliative care after chemotherapy stopped having the expected results.

    The newspaper also said he had a general swelling and cardiac issues when admitted to hospital earlier this week, as previously reported by ESPN Brasil.

    His manager, family members and the hospital have not confirmed that information.

    On Thursday, Pele said in an Instagram post that he was at the hospital for a “monthly visit” and thanked his supporters for the positive messages he had received.

    Pele, who played for Brazil and club sides Santos and New York Cosmos as a striker, was one of the world’s best known sportsmen at his peak and is regarded as one of the best soccer players of all time.

    He won the World Cup with Brazil three times, in 1958, 1962 and 1970 – a feat no other player has achieved. He is the all-time leading goalscorer for Brazil, with 77 goals in 92 games.

    Messages of support came in from players and fans at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

    French striker Kylian Mbappe tweeted, “Pray for the King”.

    England captain Harry Kane said the whole national team wished him well.

    “We send our best wishes to him and his family as well. (He is an) inspiration amongst our game, incredible footballer, incredible person,” Kane said.

    The Torch tower in Doha was also lighted up on Saturday with a message of support saying “get well soon” and a picture of his face.

    A sign with the same message was displayed by Brazilian fans at the Lusail Stadium on Friday ahead of Brazil’s 1-0 defeat by Cameroon.
