Pele has been in hospital since November 29 and doctors said they still don't know when he will be discharged.

He is "conscious and has stable vital signs," a statement from the hospital said.

Pele, the only player to win three World Cups, is also undergoing chemotherapy.

His daughter Kely Nascimento, who lives in the U.S., posted on social media Monday several photos from her father’s hospital. In one of them she is holding her father's hand, with the message “I arrived.” Another shows her working remotely from hospital.
