Pele’s condition is improving in a Sao Paulo hospital, doctors have said.
The 82-year-old – who had a tumour removed from his colon in September 2021 – was admitted to the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein in Sao Paulo on Saturday with a respiratory infection.

“The patient continues to show progressive improvement in his general condition, in particular the respiratory infection,” said a statement from the doctors treating him.
