Brazilian soccer legend Pele's cancer has advanced and he requires care related to renal and cardiac dysfunction, according to a medical report, and his family said he would remain in a Sao Paulo hospital over Christmas.
Widely considered one of the greatest footballers of all time, the 82-year-old has been hospitalised in the Albert Einstein hospital since late November as doctors re-evaluate his treatment and tend to a respiratory infection.
“Our Christmas at home has been suspended,” his daughter Kely Nascimento said on Instagram, thanking people for their support. After Argentina's win in Sunday's World Cup final, Pele posted a picture on social media of their team lifting the trophy and hailed performances from squad leader Lionel Messi, France's rising star Kylian Mbappe, and surprise semi-finalists Morocco.
