Injured again! ESPN: Former Harbor midfielder Oscar is injured again and is expected to be sidelined for a month

October 15th ESPN reported that Brazil’s Sao Paulo midfielder Oscar is expected to be sidelined for a month due to a left calf muscle injury and may not return until mid-November.

According to reports, this new injury makes his return prospects this season full of uncertainty. Sources within the club say there is no guarantee he will return this season.

The reason why this calf injury is difficult is not only that recovery requires special caution, but more importantly, the season is approaching the final stage. Even if he can recover from the injury in a month, he will still need time to adapt to the rhythm of the game.

This season has been quite difficult for Oscar. He has just recovered from a serious back injury in July that kept him sidelined for more than three months. The club is considering the possibility of no longer rushing to have him return this season, but to allow him to completely recover from his injury and devote himself to 100% preparation for the 2026 season. A final decision will be made in a month based on his recovery.

This season, Oscar played 21 times for Sao Paulo, contributing 2 goals and 5 assists. His contract with the club is signed until 2027.
