Brazil soccer star Pele admitted to hospital 'as a precaution', suffering from a high fever after attending a social function in Paris with French soccer player Kylian Mbappe - RMC Sport
PARIS - Brazil soccer great Pele was hospitalized in Paris late on Tuesday with a strong fever but his condition is not life-threatening, RMC Sport reported.
The 78-year-old was admitted as a precaution after attending an event in the French capital with France’s World Cup winning youngster Kylian Mbappe.Pele was still in hospital on Wednesday afternoon, RMC reported, though in a possible sign he was making a recovery, he said on Twitter: “I met Kylian Mbappe and his parents last night in Paris at @Hublot event. We talked goals, World Cups and watches.
Pele, revered by many as soccer’s greatest player ever, is alone in winning the World Cup three times, first lifting the trophy aged 17. The Brazilian was swift to praise Mbappe after he set last year’s World Cup in Russia alight with his electric speed and goalscoring. “If Kylian keeps equaling my records like this I may have to dust my boots off again,” Pele tweeted at the time.The Paris St Germain forward told Tuesday’s event he would never match the Brazil great’s scoring tally during his career. Pele claims he has scored 1,025 goals.
