Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho gave an update on midfielder Oscar’s injury saying that the Brazilian is fine after a blow to the head at the Emirates from David Ospina. He even said that Oscar will travel to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester City on Wednesday night.
The 23-year-old was taken off midway during the 0-0 draw against fellow Londoners, Arsenal, and sent to the hospital immediately with a possible concussion after knocking into David Ospina.
Mourinho said that the entire Chelsea team were scared for the Brazilian as he had to undergo a series of scans. Thankfully, Oscar ended up going home and slept on his own bed on Sunday night.
The Portuguese said on Monday, “Oscar left the hospital and stayed at home last night. He should be here today. Everybody will travel to Leicester.
“I really don’t know if he will definitely play. His face was swelling and we did not want to go for any risk [in the second half against Arsenal].
“I know that for me the most important thing is that last night he was not in hospital [overnight], he went to his house and slept at home.”
Oscar gave an update on his condition via Twitter:
Mourinho was also quizzed on star striker Diego Costa’s availability for the midweek clash against Leicester. He said, “I have to think about if it deserves a gamble or we wait a few more days to be really sure.
“If he was playing without an injury history I would play him tomorrow, but because he is a player with injury history I have to think about it."
Mourinho will be facing a side who have been in good form recently, and will have to be weary as Leicester will do everything in their power to ensure they don't go back into the relegation zone.
Here is a clip of Oscar’s clash with David Ospina at the Emirates stadium:
