Oscar has heart issues in São Paulo tests, under hospital watch | OneFootball

São Paulo reported that during exams conducted on the morning of this Tuesday (11) at the Barra Funda Training Center, as part of the preparation for the 2026 pre-season, midfielder Oscar experienced an incident with cardiological alterations, and was promptly attended to by the club's professionals and the medical team from Einstein Israelite Hospital, who were present at the location.

Subsequently, the Tricolor's number 8 was taken to the hospital, where he is clinically stable and remains under observation for further tests to clarify the diagnosis.

As per usual procedure and respecting the player's privacy, new information will be released as soon as there is an update from the medical team, in agreement with Oscar.

Oscar was undergoing treatment at the club for a muscle injury in his left calf, the fourth this year for the player in his so far unsuccessful return to Tricolor.

The information about the player's heart problems had already begun to circulate behind the scenes at São Paulo in recent weeks, but without an official confirmation from the club, which occurred this Tuesday.

The last weekly medical bulletin released by Tricolor on Friday (7) indicated that ‘the midfielder continues treatment for a muscle injury in the left calf, with neuromuscular training and ball exercises on the field with physiotherapy’.

São Paulo took advantage of this FIFA Date to advance its medical exams and clinical evaluations for the next season, getting ahead of the chaotic national calendar. It was then that the heart problem of the São Paulo midfielder was detected.

His last recovery had already been quite lengthy. It took three months to return after fracturing three vertebrae in the classic match against Corinthians. He returned, stayed on the bench against Fortaleza and Palmeiras, but did not play.

Shortly after, during training led by Hernán Crespo's team at Barra Funda, he felt pain in his left calf and returned to the sidelines. So far, he has played only 21 matches with two goals scored and five assists given. He last played on July 19, at Morumbi, against Corinthians.
