Oscar Hospitalized After Cardiac Incident During São Paulo Fitness Test

Multiple reports say he is weighing retirement following the scare.

Overview

  • São Paulo said the 34-year-old presented cardiological changes during routine pre-season testing and is stable in hospital under observation.
  • Brazilian media reported he collapsed on an exercise bike and was unconscious for about two minutes before being transported by ambulance.
  • He has undergone further cardiac evaluations, with reports citing a diagnostic catheterization and an MRI as doctors assess his condition.
  • Club president Julio Casares said he visited Oscar, who interacted well, and described initial results as positive while tests continue.
  • ESPN Brasil reported he is considering ending his career, with family urging caution; earlier checks in August had flagged a cardiac abnormality even as he was cleared to play on a contract running to 2027.
