The former footballer remains in intensive care at the Municipal Hospital of Llavallol after a pleural effusion and a lung infection. They are awaiting biopsy results to determine the treatment
Daniel Osvaldo remains hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the Municipal Hospital of Llavallol since last Thursday, when he had to be admitted due to a pleural effusion accompanied by a severe lung infection. This Monday, his family decided to break the silence and provide details about how the former footballer and singer is doing.
In an interview with Clarín, the artist's relatives confirmed that he is awake and not sedated. This information brought significant relief to his close circle, who are going through days of great concern about the evolution of his clinical condition.
Additionally, Marcela Tauro revealed that Osvaldo's siblings took it upon themselves to dispel any speculation related to a possible relapse into addiction. They made it clear that the hospitalization is not related to such problems and that it is exclusively a pulmonary medical issue.
Despite the good news regarding his level of consciousness, Daniel Osvaldo will remain hospitalized. The doctors are awaiting the results of a biopsy performed during a surgical intervention to accurately define the treatment he needs and advance in his recovery.

The medical context and the wait
The pleural effusion and the infection that prompted the hospitalization created a delicate situation that required him to be kept under strict observation in intensive care. The family, by speaking publicly, aimed to convey reassurance without downplaying the seriousness of the situation.
The biopsy is seen as the key step to guide the next medical actions. Until those results arrive, the former football player will remain under intensive care, with continuous monitoring from the health team at the Llavallol hospital.
The family's decision to speak at this moment responds to the interest in cutting rumors and providing reliable information. The phrase “he is awake and not sedated” became the central message they conveyed through the media.
Meanwhile, the close circle remains attentive to any news. The absolute priority is for Osvaldo to achieve complete stabilization and for the treatment defined from the biopsy to be effective in overcoming the infection and the effusion.
His personal life in recent times
On a personal level, after his separation from Gianinna Maradona, Daniel Osvaldo had maintained a more reserved profile. In July 2025, Pepe Ochoa surprised on the program LAM by stating that the singer had returned to betting on love with a young woman named Luna.
The panelist claimed that it was a recent relationship and that the girl was a model. Yanina Latorre reacted with concern about the future of that relationship. Some time later, Osvaldo himself confirmed the romance by posting a video on his Instagram stories in which he was seen kissing a blonde woman.
The young woman presents herself on social media as @rastade.laluna and is professionally dedicated to designing dreadlocks. Although this sentimental phase was part of his recent private life, today all attention is focused on his medical recovery and on the results that will allow progress with the appropriate treatment.
