Oscar Hospitalized Following Cardiac Evaluation
Oscar, the former Chelsea midfielder, is currently hospitalized following unusual cardiac results discovered during a fitness evaluation, as confirmed by his team, São Paulo. According to ESPN Brasil, the 34-year-old player experienced discomfort and briefly lost consciousness while on a stationary bike during a training session earlier this week. The club quickly responded, providing immediate medical assistance before he was transported to a nearby hospital for further observation.
Medical Examination and Current Condition
In an official statement, São Paulo disclosed that Oscar exhibited irregular cardiac reactions during a standard preseason medical examination conducted via a Super CT scan on the morning of November 11. Following the alarming results, the club’s medical personnel, alongside the team from Einstein Israel Hospital, initiated prompt treatment. Thankfully, Oscar’s condition is now stable, and he is undergoing comprehensive tests to determine the underlying issues affecting his heart, with the team closely monitoring his recovery.
Career Background and Future Considerations
Oscar made his return to São Paulo, his childhood club, in December 2024 after an eight-year stint in China. He is contracted to the club, managed by former Chelsea player Hernan Crespo, until the conclusion of the 2027 season. However, reports suggest that the player, who has faced numerous injury challenges this year, is contemplating the possibility of retirement as he navigates this recent health scare.
