JUST IN: Pele Hospitalised Amid Cancer Battle (DETAILS)

Brazilian football legend Pele has been hospitalised as he battles cancer, his daughter said on social media on Wednesday, adding that there was “no surprise or emergency” involved.

Kely Nascimento’s post to Instagram came after ESPN Brasil reported that Pele had been admitted to Albert Einstein Hospital with “generalized swelling” and was undergoing several tests for more in-depth assessment of his health issues.

“Lots of alarm in the media today concerning my dad’s health. He is in the hospital regulating medication,” Nascimento wrote. “There is no emergency or new dire prediction. I will be there for New Years and promise to post some pictures.”

The 82-year-old had a tumor removed from his colon in September 2021 and has been in and out of the hospital on a regular basis since then.

Pele was undergoing several tests for a more in-depth assessment of his health issues, according to a source who spoke to ESPN Brasil.

The Albert Einstein Hospital and Pele’s manager did not immediately respond to requests for comment, but the source said the medical staff reported anarsaca, generalized edema, and decompensated heart failure.

The source also confirmed that Pele was suffering from cardiac issues, and that his medical team was concerned that his chemotherapy treatment was not producing the desired results.

Pele, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, has struggled with a number of health issues in recent years, including hip surgery that left him with recurring pain and difficulty walking unaided.
