Pele
Pele won the World Cup with Brazil in 1958, 1962 and 1970

The hospital where the legend is being treated says that his cancer has advanced.

Three weeks have passed since the three-time World Cup winner was hospitalized.

He would be in the hospital on Christmas.

According to the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, Pele presents cancer disease progression and requires more care.

The cancer that was removed from his colon was a benign one.

Kely Nascimento wrote on social media that Christmas at home has been stopped.

We decided with the doctors that it would be better for us to stay here and get all the care that Einstein gives us.

After he was admitted, the hospital in Sao Paolo said that he had a good response to treatment for respiratory infections and that he was undergoing a reassessment of treatment.

He is the all-time leading scorer in his country with 77 goals in 92 games and he helped his country win the World Cup three times.

After their victory over South Korea in the last 16 of the World Cup, the Brazil players held up a banner with the name and picture of their hero.
