The former Brazilian Pelé left the hospital in Sao Paulo on Saturday where he was hospitalized for two weeks due to a urinary infection that was found when he went for his colon cancer treatment, the medical center reported on Monday.
Edson Arantes do Nascimento “He is in stable clinical condition, already cured of his urinary infection, and will continue treatment against the colon tumor, detected in September 2021,” the Albert Einstein hospital said in a statement.
O Rei was hospitalized on February 13 in the prestigious São Paulo medical center to continue with his chemotherapy. Eight days after his admission, the clinic reported that he detected a urinary tract infection during routine examinations, which extended his stay.
The only three-time world champion player (1958, 1962 and 1970), Pelé must go to the hospital at least once a month to perform a “check-up” and continue his treatment, as explained on social networks by his daughter Kely Nascimento, who has officiated as an informal spokesperson for the idol.
After the detection of the tumor, both the Brazilian legend and his family they have highlighted their “good” state of health, which in recent years has faced various problems. Before the diagnosis in the colon, when he was hospitalized for a month, between August and September 2021, the legend of Santos and the Brazilian team was hospitalized in Paris in 2019 and transferred to Sao Paulo to remove a kidney stone.
In 2014, ‘O Rei’ was hospitalized in intensive care after another urinary infection that forced him to undergo dialysis on his left kidney, after the right one was removed in the 70s, due to an injury when he was still a player.
He also had hip problems which reduced his mobility and forced him to use a wheelchair.
