Pele was admitted to the hospital once again while battling cancer; there were heart concerns.

As he fights cancer, Brazilian football star Pele has been admitted to the hospital, his daughter said on social media on Wednesday. She added that there was “no surprise or urgency” surrounding the admission.

After ESPN Brasil reported that Pele had been brought to Albert Einstein Hospital with “general swelling” and was undergoing multiple tests for a more thorough evaluation of his health difficulties, Kely Nascimento published a message on Instagram.

“My dad’s health is the subject of a lot of fear in the media today. He is hospitalized and overseeing medication, Nascimento wrote. “There is neither a crisis nor a brand-new scary forecast. I’ll be there for New Year’s and will upload pics, I promise.

The 82-year-old had a colon tumor removed in September 2021, and since then, he has frequently been in and out of the hospital for medical care.

Pele was reportedly experiencing cardiac problems, and his medical team expressed concern that his chemotherapy treatment was not producing the desired effects, according to an ESPN Brasil article.

Requests for response from Pele’s manager and the Albert Einstein Hospital were not promptly fulfilled.
