Aitor Fernandez - Three saves in loss Fernandez registered three saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Barcelona.

Impact Fernandez made his first start in close to three months in this match and made a season-high three saves. Sergio Herrera had been the starter for most of the year and he was dropped for this match despite being healthy and in passable form so it remains to be seen who will get the nod between the sticks next week.

Impact Oroz may be dropped from the squad Wednesday as he awaits a late fitness test on an ankle issue he is currently dealing with. This could be a huge loss for the club heading into a difficult contest, as he has started in all but three games this season. However, he has missed out on the starting XI in the past two matches, possibly due to this current ankle injury. He most likely will line up on the bench if available, taking his return cautiously, with Pablo Ibanez taking over his spot in the midfield once again.

Impact Pena looks to be the newest player being added to the injury report for Osasuna, having been announced as out due to load management reasons. The club still expects the wing-back to return on Sunday against Celta Vigo after staying back to work on his recovery with the team doctors. While the player is out, expect Jesus Areso to get the start out wide, continuing there until Pena is ready for a return.

Juan Cruz - Fit for Sunday Cruz (personal) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Sevilla.

Impact Cruz returns after being a doubt in the build up for personal reasons. The defender starts in what appears to be a back three set up for Osasuna on Sunday.

Nacho Vidal - Dealing with personal issue Vidal was not included in Thursday's training session, having to deal with personal issues, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Vidal may not be an option for Sunday's match against Rayo, having left the club for the time being due to personal problems. Luckily for the team, if he is not ready to play by Sunday, his absence shouldn't be felt too much, with the defender only appearing six times this season, all of which coming from the bench. With a couple of days until the match, he could still play Saturday, but we will have to wait on further developments and the squad list to determine that.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Cruz - Does not train Thursday Cruz was not involved in training on Thursday, having been absent due to personal reasons, the club announced ahead of Sunday's match against Sevilla.

Impact Cruz may not be an option for Sunday's contest, as he appears to be absent from the club at the moment as he is dealing with a personal issue. If he misses that match, his loss will affect the club, as the left-back has started in 12 of the 17 contests he has been available for. Expect Johan Mojica to get the start on the left flank of the defense if Cruz is unavailable, but with a couple of days until the match, the club will still hope for the defender to be ready by Sunday.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Ezequiel Avila - Not an option Sunday Avila (calf) will not be available against Getafe on Sunday, having been left out of the squad list for that contest.

Impact Avila is still attempting to recover from a calf injury he picked up in the club's last match in league play against Almeria, having been left out for the club's upcoming contest against Getafe. He will hope to be ready by next week's game against Sevilla on Sunday, as the forward has started in 10 of the 17 games he has been an option for this campaign. With Avila out, expect Ruben Garcia to get the start on the right flank of the attack against Getafe.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Aitor Fernandez - Eliminated in cup Fernandez made four saves and one penalty save during Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Sociedad.

Impact Fernandez had an excellent day, but unfortunately it's likely his last of the season barring injuries elsewhere. The loss elminated Fernandez from the Copa del Rey, which has been largely the only place he has seen minutes. Sergio Herrera will likely remain the top choice goalkeeper in La Liga action moving forward.
