After Pelé was hospitalized in November, Nascimento explained that his father was suffering from Covid-19, despite having received “all the vaccines”, and because the ‘chemotherapy’ had weakened him, it caused him to develop lung disease.

A statement from The Albert Einstein Hospital read: “Admitted since November 29 for a reassessment of chemotherapy therapy for colon tumor and treatment of a respiratory infection, Edson Arantes do Nascimento presents a progression of the oncological disease and requires greater care related to renal and cardiac dysfunctions.

“The patient remains hospitalized in a common room, under the necessary care of the medical team.”

Edson Arantes do Nascimento, best known as Pelé and considered by many to be the greatest player of all time, played in four World Cups and won three – in 1958, 1962, and 1970 – and scored 12 goals for Brazil in those World Cups.

In 1,363 official games played he scored 1,281 goals.
