    Pele’s health is deteriorating and the football legend’s daughter, Kely Nascimento, has shared an emotional update via an Instagram post as she stood by her father’s side as Pele continues to struggle with illness.

    The 82-year-old Pele will celebrate Christmas in the Albert Einstein Hospital, in Sao Paulo following the news that his cancer has worsened.

    The nature of Pele’s health condition appears to deteriorate over the past month and he now requires greater care at the Albert Einstein Jewish Hospital in Sao Paulo.

    Pele’s daughter, Kely Nascimento, earlier confirmed that her dad is now under “elevated care” while he experiences kidney and heart trouble.

    It was reported earlier this month that Pele would be going through an extended stay in hospital due to a respiratory disorder aggravated by Covid-19, while the legend continues his cancer treatment.

    Meanwhile, Pele’s daughter, Kely Nascimento, who often keeps fans updated on Pele’s health has now shared an emotional post on Friday night, December 24.

    The 82-year-old three-World Cup hero, who has been struggling with colon cancer since September last year, is yet to be discharged from the hospital, where Kely shared the heartfelt picture on Instagram.

    Also in the picture is Pele’s granddaughter who could be seen in the background laying on a sofa near Pele’s bed.

    On Wednesday, December 22, Kely Nascimento revealed that her Brazilian father would remain in Albert Einstein hospital where he would spend Christmas.

    She said, “Our Christmas at home has been suspended.”

    “We decided with the doctors that, for various reasons, it would be better for us to stay (at the hospital), with all the care that this new family at Einstein gives us!!”

    Meanwhile, Edson Cholbi Nascimento, one of Pele’s sons who is famously known as Edinho, arrived at the hospital on Saturday, December 17 a day after he gave a news conference to deny he would visit his father in the hospital.

    The former Santos goalkeeper Edinho posted a picture showing him holding his father’s hands while Pele was lying on the bed.

    “Dad… my strength is yours,” Pele’s son said.

    The three times Brazilian World Cup champion Pele was admitted to the hospital on November 29 after being diagnosed with a respiratory infection before a re-evaluation of chemotherapy treatment over colon cancer was carried out in September 2021.

    The former Santos maestro, Pele had contracted Covid-19, despite being vaccinated “with all doses” according to Kely.

    And because his chemotherapy had made him weak, the 82-year-old Brazilian contracted a lung infection.

    Pele’s health condition has become a great concern to football fans across the world, most especially Brazilians, during Brazil’s World Cup pursuit in Qatar.

    The football world has been praying and hoping the Brazilian football icon pulls through and we at Futballnews pray for his rapid recovery as we wish him a Merry Christmas.
