Many of his recent public appearances have been in a wheelchair.
He’s pretty fragile. He had a hip replacement and didn’t have an adequate or ideal rehabilitation.
Edinho said in an interview
“So he has this problem with mobility and that has set off a kind of depression. Imagine, he’s the King, he was always such an imposing figure and today he can’t walk properly.
“He’s embarrassed, he doesn’t want to go out, be seen, or do practically anything that involves leaving the house,” his son added. “He is very sheepish, reclusive.”
Edinho said he had argued with his father since he had not done the physiotherapy called for after a hip operation.
Pele, the only player to win three World Cups, burned through the greater part of his carer with Brazilian team Santos before moving to New York Cosmos during the 1970s.
