Brazil legend Pele is in hospital after collapsing on Thursday with exhaustion.<\/p>\n

The 77-year-old was due to travel to London this weekend for a dinner held in his honour by the Football Writers Association (FWA).<\/p>\n

Pele – the only player to win three World Cups – “has undergone a series of tests which appear to point to severe exhaustion”, said the FWA.<\/p>\n

“He is on fluids while doctors monitor his recovery. Thankfully there is no suggestion of anything more serious.”<\/p>\n

Pele has been taken to hospital for kidney and prostate problems in recent years.<\/p>\n

Widely regarded as the greatest player of all time, he scored 1,281 goals in 1,363 appearances during his 21-year career, including 77 goals in 91 appearances for Brazil.<\/p>\n

He helped his country win the 1958, 1962 and 1970 World Cups and was named Fifa’s Player of the Century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
