Football legend, Pele collapses, rushed to hospital

Brazil legend, Pele, has collapsed and rushed to hospital.

Pele, who slumped in the early hours of Thursday, will remain in hospital as he is being monitored by doctors in his homeland.

But he will instead remain on fluids in hospital as he seeks to recover from severe exhaustion.

An FWA statement reads, “In the early hours of Thursday morning, Pele collapsed and was taken to hospital in Brazil where he has undergone a series of tests which appear to point to severe exhaustion.

“He remains on fluids while doctors monitor his recovery.

“Understandably, his medical situation prevents him from travelling to London for the Football Writers’ Association Tribute Night on Sunday evening at The Savoy.

“But after discussions with Pele and his team, he has insisted the event should continue, not least because many of Pele’s friends are travelling from overseas to be with us on Sunday.

“While it is incredibly sad Pele cannot attend the function, the FWA are grateful that all those who have been asked to pay tribute on the night – Gareth Southgate, Cliff Jones, Gordon Banks and Steve Hunt – are determined to help make the evening a memorable one.

“It goes without saying, Pele has an open invitation to any of our functions once he regains his health and we are already discussing the possibility of him joining us in May for the Footballer of the Year Dinner.”
