Former Chelsea midfielder Oscar is in a stable condition in hospital after being diagnosed with a fainting problem called vasovagal syncope, his club Sao Paulo said on Thursday.
Vasovagal syncope is a common form of fainting, caused by a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure. Sao Paulo said Oscar will undergo further tests.
The Brazilian suffered heart complications during pre-season tests on Tuesday and was attended to by club staff and a medical team from Einstein Hospital Israelita who were on site.
“Oscar remains clinically healthy and stable, has been admitted to a cardiology unit and will undergo an electrophysiological examination this Friday,” Sao Paulo said in a statement.
Oscar, 34, won the Premier League twice with Chelsea and the Chinese Super League three times at the Port of Shanghai.
He returned to Sao Paulo in December last year and signed a three-year contract with his boyhood club.
