Pelé is depressed over his poor health and reluctant to leave the house because he cannot walk unaided, according to the Brazil legend’s son, Edinho.
Pelé, who will be 80 in October, has had hip trouble for years and now needs a frame to walk. Many of his recent public appearances have been in a wheelchair.
