Oscar Retires at 34 Due to Heart Issues

The attacking midfielder spent five days in hospital after fainting during a routine medical in November and has not played since. A vasovagal syncope, caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure, heart rate, and cerebral blood flow, was observed, forcing Oscar to call time on his career.

Oscar, who had a contract with São Paulo that was due to expire in 2027, previously won two league titles in five years at Chelsea during his career.
