Pelé’s family gathers at hospital in Sao Paulo

Brazilian great footballer Pelé’s family members gathering at the Albert Einstein hospital in Sao Paulo where he has been since the end of November.

Earlier this week, doctors said that Pelé’s cancer had advanced, is under “elevated care” related to “kidney and cardiac dysfunctions.” No other hospital statements have been published since.

The 82-year-old global icon led Brazil to victory in the 1958, 1962 and 1970 World Cups and remains one of the team’s all-time leading scorers with 77 goals. Neymar tied Pelé’s record during the latest World Cup.
