Brazil's assistant coach Cesar Sampaio has asked that everyone send a prayer to Pele, who is currently in hospital.

Three-time World Cup winner Pele has been in hospital since Wednesday and yesterday reassured fans that he is strong with a lot of hope.

The Brazil great's statement came after a Sao Paulo newspaper reported that he is receiving end-of-life care.

Meanwhile, Neymar is fit to take on South Korea at 7am tomorrow.
