PelĂ©바카라™s health has worsened during his hospital stay to regulate his cancer medication, doctors said on Wednesday.

The Albert Einstein hospital in Sao Paulo said in a statement on Wednesday that PelĂ©바카라™s cancer has advanced and that the 82-year-old Brazilian soccer great is under 바카라œelevated care바카라 related to 바카라œkidney and cardiac dysfunctions.바카라

The hospital did not mention any signs of the three-time World Cup winner바카라™s recent respiratory infection, which was aggravated by COVID-19.

Edson Arantes do Nascimento, who is globally known as Pelé, is undergoing chemotherapy in his fight against cancer since he had a colon tumor removed in September 2021. Neither his family nor the hospital have said whether it had spread to other organs.

Kely Nascimento, one of his daughters, said Pelé will stay in the hospital during Christmas.

바카라œWe decided with doctors that, for many reasons, it will be best for us to stay here, with all the care that this new family at Einstein gives us,바카라 she wrote on Instagram. 바카라œWe will even make some caipirinhas (no kidding). We love you and we will give up an update next week.바카라

Newspaper Folha de S.Paulo reported Saturday that PelĂ©바카라™s chemotherapy is not working and that doctors had decided to put him on palliative care. PelĂ©바카라™s family denied that report. The Associated Press could not confirm the newspaper바카라™s information.

PelĂ© led Brazil to victory the 1958, 1962 and 1970 World Cups and remains one of the team바카라™s all-time leading scorer with 77 goals. Neymar tied PelĂ©바카라™s record during the latest World Cup.

Several tributes and get-well soon wishes were made for the former footballer during the Qatar tournament, which was won by Argentina on Sunday.
