Oscar injured again, sidelined for São Paulo | OneFootball

The witch really seems to be on the loose at São Paulo when it comes to attacking midfielder Oscar.

In Tricolor’s training session on Monday morning (13th), the number 8 complained of pain in his left calf and underwent clinical evaluations and imaging tests that identified a muscle injury.

The player began treatment at Reffis and will very likely be a miss for Thursday’s (16th) match at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) against Grêmio, away, in the Brazilian Championship.

Oscar hasn’t taken the field for Tricolor since the 2–2 draw with Bragantino, away, on July 16, in the Brazilian Championship. On that occasion, the midfielder suffered a fracture of three lumbar vertebrae and missed 16 matches recovering from the injury.

In the last two games, the number 8 was listed by coach Hernán Crespo, but ended up not playing, still lacking better physical condition.

This is Oscar’s fifth injury in this year of his return to São Paulo, a rather exaggerated number considering his history of few appearances in the medical department throughout his career.

Adding up all the injuries, the number 8 has been unavailable for 30 of the 57 matches played by the club this season.
