Career in Doubt After Health Scare
The player, who dictates the game’s flow from midfield, holds a contract with the club that runs until 2027, but reports suggest he now plans to hang up his boots after the unfortunate incident.
The team, whose head coach is former Chelsea striker Hernan Crespo, made public a statement appealing for the player’s and his family’s privacy. In December 2024, Oscar made a comeback at Sao Paulo after spending 8 years in China and left his boyhood club.
Author’s Opinion
One of the most frightening things about health problems is that you can’t anticipate them; this is what happened to Oscar who suddenly faced a heart health scare. He should be thinking about getting well first, not about continuing the career.
Hopefully the midfielder pulls through fully and keep inspiring people of his determination to fight once again.
