Family members of Brazilian soccer great Pelé are gathering at the Albert Einstein hospital in Sao Paulo where the 82-year-old global icon has been since the end of November.
Doctors said earlier this week that Pelé’s cancer had advanced, adding the three-time World Cup winner is under “elevated care” related to “kidney and cardiac dysfunctions.” No other hospital statements have been published since.
“He is here,” Kely Nascimento, one of Pelé’s daughters, said in a posting on Instagram with a picture showing her sitting next to Edinho and two of his children at the hospital. “I am not leaving, no one will take me out of here.” Pelé’s doctors said earlier this week that his cancer has advanced and that he is under “elevated care” related to “kidney and cardiac dysfunctions.”Displaced Syrian children wearing the colors of the Brazilian and Croatian football teams, pay tribute to Brazilian football legend Pelé before a match as part of the Camps World Cup at the Hazano stadium in northern Idlib, on December 9, 2022.
The hospital has not mentioned any signs of Pelé’s recent respiratory infection, which was aggravated by COVID-19
