Local media reported on December 8 that the famous Brazilian football player Pele was hospitalized again on the 7th local time to continue his colon tumor treatment.
The 81-year-old "Ball King" Bailey found a tumor in his colon during a routine physical examination in September this year, and then underwent surgery for colon tumors and stayed in the hospital for observation for one month.
Pele’s family members posted photos of Pele’s hospitalization on social media on the 8th and stated that the photo was taken at the Albert Einstein Hospital 10 minutes ago. Pele will be discharged from the hospital two or three days later and go home for Christmas.
The medical team of Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, where Pele was admitted this time, also stated that Pele is currently in stable physical condition and is expected to be discharged in a few days.
Pele once represented the Brazilian national team to win three World Cup championships in 1958, 1962 and 1970, achieving the "Triple Crown" achievement.
In recent years, Bailey has been admitted to the hospital for many health problems.
