Moi Gomez - In starting XI Gomez is in the starting XI for Friday's match against Granada.
Impact Gomez is finally making his return to the pitch after a three-match absence due to a lingering quadriceps injury. His addition to the squad gives Osasuna a much-needed depth up top, and he could contend for a starting spot in the future. He featured in four of their six matches before the injury and should be a normal sight on the pitch now that he is healthy.

Jose Arnaiz - Set for weeks out Arnaiz (hip) is set for multiple weeks on the sideline, Osasuna announced.
Impact Arnaiz is going to spend an extended period on the sideline after suffering the injury during the international break. The bright side for Osasuna is the return of Johan Mojica, who will fill the minutes now vacated by Arnaiz. Arnaiz has an outside chance of returning before the November international break, though current indication is that he may be given the extra two weeks to fully recover from the hip injury.

Moi Gomez - Traveling with squad Gomez (quadriceps) was included in the squad list ahead of Friday's match against Granada.
Impact Gomez most likely will be making his return to the pitch on Friday after making the squad list. The attacker has missed the last three matches with his knock but was expected to be an option after manager Jagoba Arrasate confirmed he was healthy, and now it seems even more likely he will play with him on the team sheet. If Gomez does complete, there is a decent chance he will make the starting XI and will hold that spot until further notice.

Johan Mojica - Makes squad list Mojica (leg) was included in the squad list for Friday's match against Granada.
Impact Mojica could be making his return to play on Friday after being a part of the squad list. The Colombian was originally reported to need another week before his return, but it seems he may be back quicker than expected after making the team sheet. If he does make the squad on Friday, only expect him to be an option off the bench, with either Jose Arnaiz or Ruben Pena starting in the left winger role.

Unai Garcia - Remains out Garcia (knee) was left out of the team sheet for Friday's match against Granada.
Impact Garcia won't be returning to play this week after being left out of the team sheet on Thursday. The defender has now missed the past three weeks with the knock and is still yet to log any minutes this season. His absence shouldn't affect the squad too much, and when he does return, only expect him to be an option off the bench, as he will struggle to find minutes this season.

Impact Mojica needs at least another week of full training before returning to the squad after missing last match with a leg injury. He's started four of the six matches played for Osasuna this season, expanding his ability to start at both the defense and the attack for the team.

Impact Gomez returned to training Wednesday and looks to be good to go for Friday. He could see the start off the bench, depending how fit the winger is heading into the game. With already a goal in four matches, Gomez is expected to keep a consistent starting role once he is 100 percent healthy.

Unai Garcia - Facing fitness test for Friday Garcia (knee) was training with the team Thursday and is expected to be a late call for Friday's clash with Granada, according to manager Jagoba Arrasate per Info Biwenger. "Today...
Impact Garcia could make his season debut Friday after sitting out the last two months with a knee injury. If he is deemed fit, the defender is expected to start off the bench after not playing in an official league game since May 2. In 21 matches with the team in 2022/23, Garcia had totaled 20 starts with an assist, 57 clearances and 23 tackles (19 won).

Moi Gomez - Completes training session Gomez (quadriceps) was able to complete a full training session with the team Tuesday ahead of Friday's clash with Granada.
Impact Gomez could return as soon as Friday after missing the last three matches with a quad injury. He already has a goal in four appearances prior to his injury, with three of them coming as starts. If the winger passes fitness, he could start off the bench at minimum, with Ruben Pena and Ruben Garcia likely to get the start at the wings against Granada.

Sergio Herrera - Gives up four goals in loss Herrera recorded five saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-0 defeat against Real Madrid.
Impact Herrera didn't have a good performance and allowed four goals, although, to be fair, there wasn't much he could've done. All four goals were either close-range shots or one-on-one sequences, and the defense didn't cooperate with him. Herrera will try to bounce back when Osasuna takes on Granada at home after the international break.

Ante Budimir - Limited impact against Real Madrid Budimir had two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 4-0 defeat against Real Madrid.
Impact Budimir attempted just two shots throughout the game, but neither of those efforts managed to threaten Kepa even a little bit. Budimir should remain in the XI when Osasuna takes on Granada on Oct. 20 after the break.

Ante Budimir - Re-ups with club Budimir signed a contract extension with Osasuna on Monday that runs through 2027.
Impact Budimir started four of the club's last five contests in which he recorded two goals on 11 shots (six on target), three crosses (one accurate) and three tackles (zero won). Coming out of the international break, the forward should continue to be a mainstay in the starting XI where he figures to provide plenty of offensive upside.

Sergio Herrera - Enters starting XI Herrera is fit and in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Real Madrid.
Impact Herrera returns from an undisclosed injury which forced him to exit early last week against Alaves. Herrera has started five of Osasuna's eight league matches thus far, splitting time with Aitor Fernandez.

Darko Brasanac - Named to traveling squad Darko (knee) was included in the traveling squad ahead of Saturday's matchup with Real Madrid.
Impact Darko could find himself logging his first minutes of the season after being an unused substitute versus Alaves on Saturday. Given his lengthy absence, the midfielder will almost certainly need to see some minutes off the bench first before getting back into contention for the starting XI.

Sergio Herrera - Called up Saturday Herrera (undisclosed) will be in contention versus Real Madrid on Saturday.
Impact Herrera looks good to go after being forced to leave Saturday's clash with Deportivo Alaves in the 80th minute. The club has used Aitor Fernandez on three occasions this season and could turn to the second-choice keeper in order to give Herrera another match to recover.

Unai Garcia - Set for team training Garcia will return to team training after Saturday's clash with Real Madrid, according to manager Jagoba Arrasate.
Impact Garcia won't be available for Saturday's match against Real Madrid, but should be able to return to team training after that match. The defender's role moving forward is uncertain as he opened 2022/23 as a consistent starter before falling largely out of favor in the closing stages of the season.

Moi Gomez - Not quite ready Gomez (quadriceps) is out for Saturday's trip to Real Madrid, according to manager Jagoba Arrasate.
Impact Gomez won't return for Saturday's trip to Real Madrid, though he is reportedly very close to returning, and should be an option after the international break. Before picking up the injury the winger started three matches and scored once, though he also was an unused substitute twice. With that in mind there is some doubt on what Gomez's role will look like even when fit once more.

Johan Mojica - Starts recovery Mojica's test on his leg revealed that he suffered an injury to his femoral biceps and has begun his recovery, with the timetable of his return unclear.
Impact Mojica lasted just five minutes Saturday after picking up a muscle injury to his right leg. He is expected to be out until after the international break at minimum, with an exact timetableof his return uncertain at the moment. The Colombian has started four of the last six matches thus far, totaling 33 crosses (seven accurate) in that span.

Unai Garcia - Works on grass Garcia (knee) was back on the training grounds while working individually ahead of Saturday's clash with Real Madrid.
Impact Garcia is still looking to make his season debut after missing the last four matches with a knee injury. He was also an unused substitute during the first four games. Once the defender returns, he will have to work hard if he wants a spot in the lineup after making 20 starts in 21 appearances during the 2022/23 campaign.

Moi Gomez - Trains individually Gomez (quadriceps) has begun individual work on the grass ahead of Saturday's match against Real Madrid.
Impact Gomez is back on the grass as he works his way back to the team following a quadriceps injury that has kept him out the last two matches. It could be too soon for the winger to return against Real Madrid, but will aim for a comeback for an Oct 20 return versus Granada.
OCTOBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ezequiel Avila - Set for suspension return Avila completed his one-game suspension and is eligible to return to action against Real Madrid on Saturday.
Impact Avila should provide quite a boost upfront for Osasuna, though the team certainly didn't miss him in the 2-0 win over Alaves this past weekend. Avila has not been very productive, though, scoring just one goal in six outings (three starts) in 2023/24.
