Former Chelsea star Oscar is set to retire from football after his wife and family implored him to walk away from the game over his heart abnomalities.

The 34-year-old Brazilian is currently in intensive care after falling unconscious during a training session with Sao Paulo due to a heart problem.

'Thank you so much for the messages and prayers. Everything will be fine, God willing' he posted on Instagram on Wednesday.

Oscar has been receiving medication for a heart condition since August and had been cleared to play football, but Tuesday's health episode has forced him to reconsider his future.
