Football legend, Pele, is expected to spend the Christmas holidays in the hospital as he continues his cancer treatment.
His daughter, Nascimento, made this known through an Instagram post on Wednesday.
According to her, the 82-year-old is now under “elevated care” and will now spend Christmas at the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein.
“Our Christmas at home has been suspended,” she wrote. “We decided with the doctors that, for various reasons, it would be better for us to stay here with all the care that this new family at Einstein gives us.”
“We decided with the doctors that, for various reasons, it would be better for us to stay here,” she said, posting from Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital in Sao Paulo.
She added: “We, as always, thank you for all the love you show here in Brazil as well as around the world! Your love for him, your stories and your prayers are a HUGE comfort because we know we are not alone.”
