Pele's family spend Christmas in hospital as they share another night with Brazil legend

Pele ’s family spent Christmas night in hospital with the former football star as they underlined the need to be “thankful” for their time with the Brazilian legend.

The health of football legend Pele, 82, has worsened over the past month and he now requires greater care at Albert Einstein Jewish Hospital in Sao Paulo. Kely Nascimento, who regularly keeps fans updated on Pele's health, shared a moving post on Christmas night. "Even in sadness we can only be thankful," Nascimento wrote on Instagram, in tribute to those administering care to her father.

Her heartfelt words were accompanied by an image of her extended family at the hospital, with Nascimento pictured alongside five other family members. It comes two days after the previous update on Pele’s health and his family sharing time with the icon.
