Brazil head into Monday’s World Cup last-16 tie against South Korea preoccupied by the health of the great Pele and with coach Tite wondering whether to recall the Selecao’s current number 10

Tite used his press conference prior to Friday’s final group game against Cameroon to wish Pele a speedy recovery after the all-time great was admitted to hospital in Sao Paulo during the week.

There would be no better way for Brazil to pay tribute to their greatest ever player than by going on to win a record-extending sixth World Cup on December 18, and the draw appears to have opened up favorably for them. “I feel good, I knew that I would now,” he wrote on Instagram on Saturday with reference to James Brown.

Korea was the second lowest-ranked side to make the knockout stage and Paulo Bento’s side has recent experience of how chastening an experience it can be to take on Brazil. Brazil is desperate to rediscover the form in front of goal that saw them score a remarkable 26 times in their seven games preceding the tournament, but aside from Neymar they have injury concerns in defense.
