Oscar gets backing from former club after scare at São Paulo | OneFootball

Oscar's former club, Chelsea, from England, posted a message on their social media in support of the player after the scare last Tuesday. During a series of tests by São Paulo, the player fell ill and was rushed to the Albert Einstein Hospital, where an incident with cardiological alterations was confirmed.

Oscar, who was discovered by São Paulo, moved from the Tricolor to Internacional in 2010. By mid-July 2012, the midfielder was transferred to Chelsea, where he stayed for four and a half seasons and had the opportunity to work with José Mourinho.

For Chelsea, Oscar played 203 games, scoring 38 goals, providing 38 assists, and winning four titles: two Premier League trophies, one English League Cup, and one Europa League.

What happened to Oscar?

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 fell ill on the bike and was promptly attended to by the team coordinating the exams.

The athlete was taken to the Albert Einstein Hospital, where an incident with cardiological alterations was detected. He underwent a catheterization on Tuesday and also had an MRI. The results of the exams are expected to be released this Wednesday.

São Paulo released a statement about Oscar's situation last Tuesday. The club informed that the player was clinically stable and remained under observation.

According to Gazeta Esportiva, Oscar and his surroundings are quite scared by the situation. The player is considering retirement to avoid any risk of a bigger problem, like what happened with Juan Izquiero, a Nacional player who fell ill on the Morumbi field and died five days later from a cardiac arrest.

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