Former Brazilian soccer player Edson Arantes do Nascimento ‘Pelé’, who has been hospitalized for a week and whose health has become a cause of concern around the world, continues to recover from a lung infection suffered in him, according to information released this Tuesday by medical sources. .
“The patient continues to improve with progressive improvement in his general condition, especially the respiratory infection,” said a statement from Albert Einstein Hospital, where he has been hospitalized since November 29.
The three-time world champion, who is undergoing treatment for colon cancer, was hospitalized last week to assess a change in chemotherapy regimen.
Days later, doctors reported that they were also treating him for a “lung infection”, which his daughters pointed out came from the covid-19 he contracted three weeks ago.
Stay in a standard room
Since then ‘O Rei’ has been receiving antibiotics to which he has responded positively and continues to be hospitalized in a common room “with stable vital signs, conscious and no new problems”.
On Monday, from social networks, Pelé encouraged the Brazilian team before the match against South Korea, where the ‘canarinha’ defeated the Asian team with a resounding 4-1 in the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar.
Subsequently, the legendary former Brazilian player published on Instagram photos of the banner presented by the ‘seleçao’ at the end of the game in which he wished for his speedy recovery.
