How is Oscar?

Midfielder Oscar remains hospitalized at Albert Einstein Hospital. The athlete underwent a catheterization on Tuesday and later had an MRI. On Wednesday, he was scheduled for further tests to understand what led him to faint during medical exams conducted by the club.

According to Gazeta Esportiva, there is still no discharge forecast due to the caution adopted by the medical team, which wants to ensure the player is 100% before being released.

Earlier, São Paulo's number 8 posted a brief message on social media. The player thanked the support and expressed hope for better days. Oscar's former club, Chelsea, also showed solidarity with the midfielder's situation.

Understand the case

São Paulo decided to bring forward the pre-season tests. Last Tuesday, the first day of exams, Oscar fainted when he was already at the end of the medical evaluation. The player felt unwell on the bike and was promptly attended to by the team coordinating the exams.

The athlete was taken to Albert Einstein Hospital, where an incident with cardiological alterations was detected. He underwent a catheterization on Tuesday and also had an MRI.

The report found that Oscar and his surroundings are quite scared by the situation. The player is considering retirement to avoid any risk of a more significant problem, like what happened with Juan Izquierdo, a Nacional player who felt unwell on the Morumbi field and died five days later from cardiac arrest.

There was an expectation that, with the break for the November FIFA date, Oscar would be available to coach Hernán Crespo for the match against Corinthians on the 20th at Neo Química Arena. However, there is no possibility of the player performing in the short term.
