Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr offer best wishes to Pele from World Cup amid concerns over Brazil legend’s health


Football stars Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior have both sent Pele their best wishes amid concerns for the Brazil legend’s health.

Brazil outlet Folha de São Paulo reported on Saturday afternoon that the former Selecao superstar – who is regarded as one of the best footballers of all time and won three World Cups with his country – has seen his health deteriorate.

There has been a huge outpouring of support from football fans around the world for the 82-year-old including from some of the sport’s current crop of elite players.

Mbappe, who is currently at the 2022 World Cup with reigning champions France, met Pele at a sponsor’s event in Paris in 2019, and the French star expressed his wishes for the icon on Twitter.

“Pray for the King Pele,” the Paris Saint-Germain star wrote, alongside a crown emoji, a praying hands emoji and the Brazil flag.

Meanwhile, current Selecao winger Vinicius Jr – who is also out in Qatar – also sent his thoughts out to his country’s hero.

Posting pictures of Brazil fans holding up banners of Pele, the Real Madrid star wrote ‘Strength, King’, followed by a king emoji.

Earlier in the week, Pele was reported to have been sent to hospital due to his condition ‘worsening’.

But his daughter stated ‘there was no emergency’ as she played down her father’s illness after he was admitted to hospital.

Pele – who scored over 1,000 goals in his career – was first diagnosed with bowel cancer back in September 2021 and has been undergoing treatment since.

FIRST DATES  James Maddison jokes Ally McCoist would be RIGHT to let Jude Bellingham date his daughters and keep his granny away from Jack Grealish – but Bukayo Saka would be best son-in-law out of England stars England star James Maddison has responded to Ally McCoist’s hilarious claim that he would let Jude Bellingham date his daughter,s but not let Jack Grealish near his granny. Rangers legend McCoist, who has five son, told talkSPORT on Monday that if he had five daughters instead, they could all go out with Bellingham. The 19-year-old midfielder has  caught the eye  with his maturity on and off the pitch while starring for the Three Lions at the 2022 World Cup. Grealish, on the other hand, is a self-confessed cheeky chappy and  recently admitted  he has a habit of doing ‘stupid’ things. McCoist said: “I just think he’s [Bellingham] unbelievable. I’ve got five boys in the house but if I had five daughters I’d probably let him take them all out at the same ...

SUPPORT   Harry Kane gets brilliant reception from Tottenham fans at Boxing Day clash with Brentford after World Cup penalty miss Tottenham fans loudly showed their support for Harry Kane following his missed penalty for England in Qatar . The 29-year-old was thrown straight back into Antonio Conte’s starting XI for  Spurs’ Boxing Day clash away at Brentford . Kane has been subject to harsh criticism after he blazed over his spot-kick against France in the Three Lions’ World Cup quarter-final defeat. He had equalised against Les Bleus from the spot, but with his second attempt late into the match, he spurned a key chance to level the game up at 2-2. It led some fans to question why he was even on penalty duty, despite his stunning record from 12 yards out having missed three out of his 20 penalties for England prior to his France miss. But the Spurs supporters in attendance at the Gtech Community Stadium were fully behind their talismanic striker. They sang in unison, ‘Harry K...
