Former Chelsea and Brazil midfielder Oscar has been discharged from hospital after being admitted last week with a heart issue.

The 34-year-old became unwell while undergoing physical testing before the new season at Brazilian side Sao Paulo’s training centre on Tuesday.

Sao Paulo said in a statement Oscar left Einstein Hospital Israelita on Sunday and was “stable and clinically well” throughout his stay.

“Extensive investigation carried out at the hospital confirmed that the player experienced an episode of vasovagal syncope,” it added.
