Former Chelsea midfielder Oscar has been hospitalized after the Brazilian suffered heart complications during pre-season tests, his club Sao Paulo has said.
As players prepared to prepare ahead of the 2026 season, the club said Oscar “presented a complication with cardiac changes.”
The 34-year-old was treated by club staff and a medical team from Einstein Hospital Israelita who attended the scene.
“The player was subsequently taken to hospital where he is clinically stable and remains under observation for further tests to clarify the diagnosis,” the club said in a statement on Tuesday.
“In accordance with standard procedure and respecting the player’s privacy, new information will be released as soon as there is an update from the medical team, in consultation with Oscar.”
Oscar, who won the Premier League twice with Chelsea, spent most of his career at the Port of Shanghai, where he won the Chinese Super League twice and became the face of the league that had lured international players with high wages.
He returned to Sao Paulo in December last year and signed a three-year contract with his boyhood club.
