The football legend, Pele, has been admitted to the "Albert Einstein" hospital in Sao Paolo for several weeks. The Brazilian suffers from "complete kidney and heart failure, as he has an oncological disease progression", the hospital said on Wednesday.
Since November 29, Pele has been under the care of doctors because his cancer treatment will have to continue, with the 82-year-old staying for an indefinite period of time under the care of doctors.
Pele's illness dates back to September 2021 and since then he has undergone several chemotherapy treatments.
"Our Christmas at home has been put on hold. The doctors decided for various reasons that it would be better to stay here, with all the care that this young family gives us... Einstein," Kelly Nascimento, Pele's daughter, added to the media. .
