Pele responds to Kylian Mbappe message after Brazil icon 'moved to end-of-life care'

Pele has thanks Kylian Mbappe for his support after the France international urged his followers to pray for the stricken football icon.

Pele, 82, is battling cancer and was admitted to a hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil in November amid reports he is beginning end-of-life care after not responding to chemotherapy. The three-time World Cup winner has urged fans to stay "calm and positive".

Doctors at Pele's hospital have confirmed the ex-footballer's condition is improving and he is stable. The former Brazil international has received well wishes from millions of football fans in recent days, with Mbappe tweeting "Pray for the King" last Saturday.
