OSCAR was rushed to hospital after reportedly collapsing during training with Sao Paulo.
The former Chelsea star lost consciousness while doing work on an exercise bike when he started to feel unwell.
Oscar, 34, then fell to the ground and Brazilian media claim he was unconscious for two minutes.
He was then rushed to the Einstein Hospital Israelita in Sao Paulo, Brazil in an ambulance for further tests.
Medical staff were able to stabilise the midfielder as it was discovered he was suffering from cardiac issues.
The club have now issued a statement which revealed that he will remain under further observation until the extent of his diagnosis is known.

“As is usual procedure and respecting the player’s privacy, new information will be released as soon as there is an update from the medical team, in agreement with Oscar.”
