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 felt unwell on the bike and was promptly attended to by the team coordinating the exams.

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

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

According to Gazeta Esportiva, Oscar and his entourage are quite scared by the situation. The player is considering retirement to avoid any risk of a bigger 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 playing in the short term.
