The Chinese Super League (CSL) has announced that Oscar, the Argentine footballer, will not be able to participate in training due to visa issues.
Oscar, who joined the CSL side Shanghai Shenhua on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, was scheduled to join his team mates at their training ground on Monday. However, he was unable to attend due to visa problems.
Shanghai Shenhua issued a statement saying: "We regret to inform you that Oscar will not be able to join our team for training today. We are working with him and his representatives to resolve this issue as soon as possible."
Oscar is one of the most talented players in the world and has won numerous awards throughout his career. He has also played for several top clubs including Manchester United, Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.
However, his decision to leave PSG and join the CSL has raised concerns about the safety of foreign players in China. The CSL has been criticized for its treatment of foreign players, with many claiming they receive less pay than domestic players and face difficulties when it comes to visas.
It remains to be seen whether Oscar will be able to play for Shanghai Shenhua in the upcoming season. In the meantime, the club will need to find another player to fill his position in training.
In conclusion, Oscar's absence from training highlights the challenges that foreign players face in China. While he may have talent, there are still issues that need to be addressed if he wants to succeed in the CSL. It will be interesting to see how things unfold for Oscar and his team.
