Pelé’s daughter, Kely Cristina Nascimento, shared a photo on Friday night hugging her father in the hospital bed where he remains hospitalized, along with the message “We are still here, in the fight and in the faith. One more night together”, after confirming that the box of the former Brazilian star became even more complicated as the days went by.
The @iamkelynascimento account on Instagram published the photo in which Edson Arantes do Nascimento, 82, is seen caressing his daughter’s arm while she hugs him on the side of the bed.

On Wednesday, the Albert Einstein Hospital, where the former soccer player has been hospitalized for three weeks, reported that Pelé presented a “progression” of colon cancer that he faces and receives care for “kidney and heart dysfunction.”
Also that day, the daughters of O Rei, three times world champion with Brazil (1958, 1962 and 1970), said that he would not return home for Christmas.
How is Pelé’s health?
Pelé was admitted on November 29 for a reassessment of his chemotherapy treatment for colon cancer detected in September last year, and to treat a respiratory infection derived from a recent covid infection, according to doctors and his family.
“Our Christmas at home was called off. We decided together with the doctors that, for various reasons, it will be better for us to stay here, with all the care that this new family from the Albert Einstein hospital gives us,” Kely Nascimento wrote on Instagram.
