Kléberson's 2026 heart health concerns

Overview

In mid‑July 2026, former Brazil World Cup midfielder Kléberson was hospitalized in Curitiba after a CT scan showed about 50 % narrowing in three coronary arteries, prompting specialist follow‑up. Less than three weeks later, on August 1, he felt chest pain while in Orlando, Florida and was taken to UCF Lake Nona Hospital. A cardiac catheterization performed there revealed no blockages and was completed without complications. He was discharged the same day to continue medical monitoring at home. Kleberson, 47, posted on social media thanking fans and confirming he was feeling better. The procedure corroborated earlier Brazilian monitoring and he remains under follow‑up. He continues to reside in Orlando, works as a football coach and recently led a Minas Gerais club to a regional trophy. His playing career included stints at Manchester United, Flamengo and Athletico‑PR.
