Pele is showing signs of 'progressive improvement' after being treated for a respiratory infection at a hospital in Sao Paulo.
Brazilian publication Globo says that the icon's condition is improving after he was taken to hospital for tests.
They add that the 82-year-old is 'stable, conscious and is without further complications.'
The 82-year-old, who won the World Cup in his career three times in 1958, 1962 and 1970, was omitted to hospital to treat a respiratory infection that was aggravated by Covid.
Despite initial concerns that he was close to death, his daughters Flavia and Kely Nascimento quickly moved to rubbish those reports and said he is 'sick' but is still supporting Brazil in their bid to win the World Cup.
A tweet was published from Pele's official account on Monday as he wished Brazil good luck ahead of their 4-1 last-16 victory over South Korea.
