Waiting game
"I am waiting - I have not left the squad. I am going to train today and, God willing, my daughter will be born soon," he said.
The Brazil squad started training two days after meeting up at their Granja Comary complex in the hills outside Rio.
Oscar, who missed Chelsea's season run-in while nursing a hip injury, has been given permission to leave the camp to travel to Americana, in neighboring Sao Paulo state, to attend the birth.
