Daniel Osvaldo remains in intensive care after pleural effusion surgery

Former footballer Daniel Osvaldo remains in intensive care following surgery for a pleural effusion caused by an infection. His family issued a statement to clarify his condition and dispel various rumors circulating in the media. They confirmed that Osvaldo is “bien y lúcido” (well and lucid) and denied claims that he arrived at the hospital in a state of indigence, that a portion of his lung was removed, or that his condition is related to substance use.

Osvaldo had experienced several days of pain and loss of appetite, which were initially thought to be muscular issues before doctors detected fluid in his lungs. He has been transferred between facilities, most recently to the Hospital Bicentenario in Monte Grande, to receive high-complexity care. Medical professionals are currently awaiting culture results to determine the exact nature of the infection and establish the appropriate treatment plan.

In addition to his health crisis, reports have surfaced regarding his financial situation, including the sale of his home in Lomas de Zamora, valued at approximately 500,000 dollars. His family has requested privacy and empathy from the media during this difficult time.
