Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that Oscar was taken to hospital after colliding into Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina.

The Blues fought out a 0-0 draw with Arsene Wenger's Gunners as they edged closer to lifting the Premier League title.

The Brazilian playmaker was injured in the first half after clattering into Ospina, but was only substituted at halftime.

While the calls for a penalty on the pitch were muted, pundits have since labelled the challenge as dangerous and deserving of a spot kick.

Mourinho told Sky Sports: "He went to hospital to make some scans to see what is going on."

The Portuguese coach was later asked in a news conference if Oscar had suffered concussion in the collision. Mourinho added: "I don't know."

Chelsea can now win the title as soon as next Sunday, provided they beat Leicester City and Crystal Palace.
