Pele suffers from heart and kidney failure due to the aggravation of his cancer

Pele suffers from worsening cancer, in addition to kidney and heart problems.

“Still here, in struggle and in faith. Another night together,” Nascimento wrote with the photo, which she posted on Instagram around 11:00 p.m. local time.

On Wednesday, the Albert Einstein Hospital, where the three-time World Cup winner is being treated, said his colon cancer had “worsened” and that Pele needed “more comprehensive care for kidney and heart failure”.

Minutes earlier, Nascimento and Flavia Arantes, another of Pele’s daughters, had announced on Instagram that their father would be spending Christmas in the hospital.

Last Sunday, Nascimento posted a photo of Arantes massaging their father’s left foot while he watched the World Cup final in Qatar on TV.

After the match, Pele congratulated Lionel Messi on his “deserved” victory in the World Cup after Argentina beat France on penalties.

Pele watched his compatriot Neymar equal his number by scoring the 77th goal in the Brazil shirt, after he opened the scoring in the 105 + 1 minute of the first extra period against Croatia in the quarter-finals, before losing on penalties.

Pele was taken to hospital in Sao Paulo on November 29 for what his medical team described as a reassessment of his chemotherapy treatment he had been receiving since he underwent surgery to remove a colon polyp in September 2021.
