<p>Brazilian news outlet Folha reported earlier on Saturday that the former striker had been moved to palliative care and that his chemotherapy to treat colon cancer had been suspended.</p>
<p>But an update from the doctors treating Pele at the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein in Sao Paulo on Saturday evening presented a more positive picture.</p>
<p>The statement read: “Edson Arantes do Nascimento was admitted to the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein last Tuesday for a reassessment of chemotherapy therapy of the colon tumour, identified in September 2021.</p>
<p>“He is still undergoing treatment and the state of health remains stable. He has also had a good response to respiratory infection care, with no worsening of the condition in the last 24 hours.”</p>
<p>The 82-year-old underwent surgery to remove a tumour during September 2021 and there have been increasing concerns about his health.</p>
<p>On Thursday evening, a post on Pele’s Instagram account looked to allay any serious worries.</p>
<p>Attached to a photograph of a ‘get well soon’ message displayed on buildings at the World Cup in Qatar, the Brazil great wrote: “Friends, I am at the hospital making my monthly visit.</p>
<p>“It’s always nice to receive positive messages like this. Thanks to Qatar for this tribute, and to everyone who sends me good vibes!”</p>
<p>England captain Harry Kane, speaking ahead of the last-16 match against Senegal on Sunday, said the team was sending its best wishes to Pele and his family.</p>
<p>He said: “He is an inspiration among our game. He’s an incredible footballer, incredible person.</p>
<p>“We are very sad to hear news of him being ill but we wish him well, not just me but the whole England set-up.”</p>
<p>France forward Kylian Mbappe said simply on Twitter: “Pray for the King.”</p>
<p>Pele burst onto the global scene as a 17-year-old at the 1958 World Cup, helping Brazil to the first of their record five successes.</p>
<p>Injury affected his contribution to the 1962 and 1966 finals, but he returned to lead Brazil to a third triumph in Mexico in 1970 as part of what is widely regarded as the greatest international team of all time.</p>
<p>Officially, Pele scored 757 goals in 831 games during a glittering career from 1957 to 1977, although club Santos claim his tally was closer to 1,000.</p>
