Doctors treating Brazilian football legend Pele said on Saturday that the 82-year-old remained “stable” after developing a respiratory infection with his condition not having deteriorated over the last 24 hours.


Pele, who was hospitalised this week amid ongoing cancer treatments, “has had a good response to care without any worsening in the clinical picture in the last 24 hours,” doctors at Sao Paulo’s Albert Einstein Hospital said in a statement.
