Pelé, a three-time world champion with Brazil (1958, 1962 and 1970), was admitted on November 29 for a reassessment of his chemotherapy treatment for colon cancer identified last year.
A few days later, the hospital reported that he was also being treated for a lung infection, a consequence, according to his family, of a covid infection he had suffered three weeks earlier.
Concern about his situation has increased in recent days after journalistic reports that he was not responding to chemotherapy and was receiving “palliative care.”
But two of Pelé’s daughters denied this information on Sunday, assuring that his health is not at “risk” and they were confident that he would return home when his respiratory condition improved.

Pele “is sick, he’s old, but at the moment he’s hospitalized due to a lung infection. And when he gets better, he’ll come home,” he said Kely Nascimento in a television interview with the Fantastico program on the Globo channel. “He’s not saying goodbye at the hospital,” Kely added.
The “king” follows the Qatar World Cup from the hospital and on Monday he wished the “Canarinha” luck, before their win against South Korea (4-1) in the round of 16, in a message on Instagram. At the end of the game, the team dedicated the victory to Pelé by displaying a large banner on the field with his name inscribed on it.
“I hope he gets better as quickly as possible, and that we can comfort him with the victory and with the flag that we dedicate to him at the end” of the game, said Neymar, scorer of one of the goals. Other soccer stars paid tribute to him from Doha, such as the French Kylian Mbappe, who asked on Twitter: “Pray for the King” (Pray for the King), with the mention “Pelé”.
On the weekend, on the great promenade along the bay of Doha, Dozens of drones drew at night a shirt with the number 10 and the name of Pelé, accompanied by the message “Get well soon” (get well soon).
