Ante Budimir - Starts, scores goal Budimir scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-2 loss versus Getafe.

Impact Budimir was unimpressive across Osasuna's first two games of the 2023-24 La Liga. But after logging an assist in his first substitute appearance of the season, he re-entered Osasuna's starting XI on Sunday. Budimir scored in his first start back against Getafe.

Aimar Oroz - Records assist Oroz assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Getafe.

Impact Oroz logged the assist to Osasuna's first goal, scored by Iker Cameros. The assist also marked Oroz's first of his 2023-24 La Liga season. Now, he has a goal and an assist across this campaign.

Iker Munoz - Scores goal Cameros scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-2 defeat versus Getafe. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 88th minute.

Impact Already, Cameros' extension is proving to be worthwhile. In his first game since signing his new contract, Cameros scored a goal, the midfielder's first as an Osasuna player. While goal scoring is not expected to be a continued forte from Cameros, it is at least somewhat promising how much he contributed immediately after the extension.

Sergio Herrera - Concedes three goals Herrera had three saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Getafe.

Impact Herrera has been alternating appearances for Osasuna. Across three of them Herrera has logged so far during the 2023-24 La Liga, he conceded four goals, most of them in Sunday's game.

Darko Brasanac - Pictured in training Brasanac (knee) participated in training Monday ahead of Saturday's clash with Sevilla.

Impact Brasanac has yet to get onto the pitch this season but could struggle to cement his place in the starting XI after featuring just nine times in 25 appearances last season. Still, when he does play, the midfielder should generate plenty of crosses and chances from the midfield.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alejandro Catena - Back after one-game suspension Catena completed his one-game ban and is eligible to return for Saturday's match against Sevilla.

Impact Catena was sent off against Barcelona just before the international break, but now he's set to recover his place in the center of the defense and is likely to return to the starting lineup right away, sending Jorge Herrando to the bench.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Iker Munoz - Signs extension with Osasuna Iker Cameros signed a four-year contract extension with Osasuna on Tuesday.

Impact Iker Cameros will be remaining with Osasuna until 2027 after signing a contract extension. The 20-year-old was only brought up to the first team last season but is already finding his way into the squad after only appearing nine times last year. He has two starts in three matches this season and looks to be someone that Osasuna wants to keep around long-term.

Ezequiel Avila - Scores first of season Chimy Avila scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Barcelona.

Impact Chimy Avila gave his side hope, burying his first goal of the season in the 76th minute to tie the score at 1-1. He has been a good scorer for his squad over the years and with one goal after just three games, he is well on pace to put together an impressive season. His record through the past four seasons with Osasuna stands at nine goals, which he managed in just 20 appearances back in 2019.

Aitor Fernandez - Concedes twice in loss Fernandez made two saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Barcelona.

Impact Fernandez gave a good effort to keep his side in the match, making two key saves in the first half, before conceding one just before the break. Osasuna held strong through the second half, but Fernandez could not stop a penalty shot by Robert Lewandowski, which put Barcelona in front and sealed the deal. Fernandez is now up to four goals conceded in just two appearances on the season.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alejandro Catena - Sent off against Barca Catena was sent off in Sunday's match against FC Barcelona.

Impact The defender was given his marching orders late in the second half following a straight red card, meaning he will miss the match against Getafe after the international break. Catena's next chance to feature will come against Sevilla on Sep. 24.

Ruben Pena - On bench Pena (strain) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Barcelona.

Ruben Pena - Limps off Thursday Pena was forced off with a muscle injury during Thursday's clash with Club Brugge.

Impact Pena was forced off with a muscle issue Thursday and is a doubt for Sunday's clash with Barcelona. Nacho Vidal or Jesus could be in line for the start if Pena isn't able to overcome the minor muscular cramps before Sunday's showdown with Barcelona.

Ezequiel Avila - Eligible to return against Barca Avila has completed his one-game suspension and will be eligible to face Barcelona on Sunday.

Impact The striker was sent off with a straight red card in the matchup against Athletic Bilbao but was handed only a one-match ban, so he is expected to return to the lineup against Los Blaugranas. That said, he's come off the bench in the two matches he's been eligible for, so the starting lineup might not be impacted with his return.

Resumen de Valencia CF vs CA Osasuna (1-2)

AUGUST 27, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Johan Mojica - Whips in 17 crosses Saturday Mojica registered two shots (zero on goal), 17 crosses (three accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Athletic.

Impact Mojica was a constant crossing threat all game long, as evidenced by the fact he sent the ball into the box a whopping 17 times, but there wasn't a lot of end product out of those situations. Mojica can get the job done on both ends of the field and should remain in the XI as a wing-back when Osasuna takes on Valencia on Sunday.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Arnaiz - Takes three shots in loss Arnaiz registered three shots (two on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Athletic.

Impact Osasuna didn't create much on offense all game long, but Arnaiz looked active and managed to attempt a few shots on target despite not finding the back of the net. Arnaiz should remain in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Valencia and might be in line for even more responsibility on the attack with Chimy Avila suspended.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Aitor Fernandez - Concedes two goals in loss Fernandez had no saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Athletic.

Impact It's hard to blame Fernandez for the two goals he conceded, as Osasuna was extremely passive on defense all game long, and both goals came via close-range finishes where Fernandez had nothing to do. His next game won't be easier, as Osasuna will travel to Mestalla to take on Valencia on Sunday.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ezequiel Avila - Handed red card Saturday Avila was given a straight red card versus Athletic on Saturday, which will see him automatically suspended versus Valencia on Sunday.

Impact Avila has featured off the bench in each of Osasuna's first two contests, logging a combined 39 minutes in which he generated three shots (one on target), four crosses (one accurate) and two chances created. Even with Avila booked, his absence is unlikely to impact the starting XI, though it could mean additional minutes off the bench for Raul Garcia.

Nacho Vidal - Makes squad for Saturday Vidal (groin) is in the squad for Saturday's game against Athletic Bilbao.

Impact Vidal didn't crack the squad for the season opener due to a groin injury, but he's been included on the list for the trip to Bilbao. He should compete for the starting right-back role, though Ruben Pena is also a possibility in that position.
