Oscar, 25, has earned just five league starts for the Blues this season, with his last coming in a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool at home on September 16.
Recent speculation suggested that the playmaker could pursue a fresh challenge in January having been restricted to first-team football since the 3-4-3 formation change.
However, Conte has rubbished the speculation by iterating that Oscar remains an 'important player' for his side, and is unlikely to be sold in the near future.
