Pele: Brazil World Cup legend admitted to hospital in Paris, but condition not life-threatening – reports
World Cup legend Pele has been admitted to hospital, reports in France claim.RMC Sport in the country say the former Brazil star had a ‘tetanus crisis’ and a fever overnight, though his condition is not believed to be life-threatening.

I met Kylian Mbappe and his parents last night in Paris at @Hublot event. We talked goals, World Cups and watches. Great company! /Estive com @KMbappe e seus pais ontem noite, durante um evento da @Hublot em Paris. Falamos sobre gols, Copas do Mundo e relgios. Grande encontro! pic.twitter.com/U63hLWy0mV— Pel (@Pele) April 3, 2019

The 78-year-old was in Paris at a sponsor’s event where he met Kylian Mbappe and the Paris Saint-Germain striker’s family.Mbappe, who was 19 when he won the World Cup with France last summer, was two years older than when Pele picked up the first of his three victories in the competition i 1958.In total he scored 77 times in 92 games for Brazil, winning the World Cup again in 1962 and 1970.2

Pele won the World Cup three times during his career

Pele, whose full name is Edson Arantes do Nascimento, is widely considered one of the greatest footballers of all time. He spent his entire career with Santos in his native Brazil, retiring in 1974, before a brief stint at New York Cosmos. During his career, he claimed to have scored 1,025 goals and backed Mbappe to do the same, not that the current star of football holds much hope of reaching the milestone.“I think that even if we count the goals on inter-city pitches and goals on the PlayStation, I won’t be able to reach the 1,000-goal mark!” he said.2

As well as three World Cup successes, Pele scored more than 1,000 goals in his career

It is not the first time there have been concerns about his health. In 2016 he was the favourite to light the flame at the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics, but pulled out because of muscle pains, while he had also had surgery on his hip earlier in the year.“I’m not in physical condition to take part in the opening ceremony,” he said at the time.In January 2018, he was due to appear at a tribute dinner in London, but was unable to attend after collapsing due to severe exhaustion.
