That's big, big news for Oscar, and it's big for Chelsea fans as well. After giving Ryan Bertrand the surprising start in last season's Champions League final, RDM is again surprising us by testing Oscar against a tough opponent. We'll have the game thread up for you shortly, but for now feel free to discuss the Oscar news.
