The legendary Brazilian football player Pelé was hospitalized in Sao Paulo to regulate his medicine as he battled a colon tumor, according to his daughter on Wednesday.
Regarding her 82 years old father`s health, Kely Nascimento said there was "no emergency."
Nascimento, who lives in the United States, made the comments in an Instagram post after what she called “lots of alarm in the media today concerning my dad’s health.”
“Really and truly, we appreciate the concern and love,” Nascimento said.
Last year in September of 2021 Pelé removed a tumour, with the hospital saying then that he would begin chemotherapy.
“I just want to express my gratitude. Life is good. Turning 82 with my family, in good health, is the best gift. Thank you for everything I have received,” he said in a video.
