Former Chelsea midfielder Oscar is considering retirement from football after falling ill with a heart issue.
The 34-year-old collapsed when using an exercise bike during training with Brazilian side Sao Paulo and was unconscious.
A club statement from Sao Paulo said: “Oscar presented an incident with cardiological changes, being promptly attended to by the club’s professionals and the medical team from Einstein Hospital Israelita, who were present at the site.
“The player was then taken to the hospital, where he is currently in stable condition and remains under observation for further tests to clarify the diagnosis.”
The BBC are reporting that Oscar, who made 203 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions, is now considering retirement. He left Chelsea for the Chinese Super League in a lucrative deal in 2017, where he spent eight years with Shanghai Port F.C.
