Brazil coach Tite sent a message of support to Pel from the World Cup on Thursday.

Pel was hospitalised on Tuesday in Sao Paulo to regulate the medication in his fight against a colon tumor, his daughter Kely Nascimento said.

She added that there was "no emergency" concerning her 82-year-old father's health.

"We all want to wish good health to Pel," Tite said in Qatar a day before Brazil's next match against Cameroon.

Brazil, seeking its first World Cup title in two decades, reached the round of 16 after two group matches. The team needs a draw against Cameroon to finish first in Group G.
