Aitor Fernandez - Concedes once in loss Fernandez recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat versus Barcelona.

Impact Fernandez conceded one goal Tuesday, an 85th minute strike by Jordi Alba. Keeping Barcelona to just one goal while playing down a man (due to Jorge Herrando's red card in the 26th minute) is decent given the circumstances. He faces an easier matchup Saturday versus Almeria, a side which has scored 42 goals in 33 league matches this season.

Jorge Herrando - Sent off in La Liga debut Herrando received a straight red card in the 27th minute of Tuesday's clash against Barcelona following a foul on Pedri to deny a goalscoring opportunity.

Impact Herrando was making his first ever La Liga start in central defense for Osasuna on Tuesday, but he lasted less than half an hour before getting sent off. The 22-year-old will be suspended for Saturday's clash against Almeria.

David Garcia - Ruled out against Barcelona Garcia (nose) was once again not called up by Osasuna for Tuesday's clash against Barcelona.

Iker Munoz - Gets second straight start Iker Cameros registered one tackle (zero won) in Friday's 2-0 loss to Real Sociedad.

Impact Iker Cameros saw his second start at the defensive midfield, making just his third appearances with the senior team. With Jon Moncayola set to miss the next match (yellow card accumulation), he could see the start again Tuesday against Barcelona.

Jon Moncayola - Set for suspension Jon Moncayola recorded nine crosses (two accurate) in Friday's 2-0 defeat to Real Sociedad. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 89th minute.

Impact Jon Moncayola had one of his better performances on the year after a season-high of crosses. However, he was shown his fifth yellow card and will serve a one-match suspension. He's only got the start three times in the last six games after starting seven times in a row previously. Iker Cameros and Aimar Oroz could be options to start at midfield against Barcelona on Tuesday in his absence.

Ezequiel Avila - Makes appearance off bench Chimy Avila generated three shots (zero on target) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 2-0 loss against Real Sociedad.

Impact Chimy Avila made his first appearance since March 19 after missing some time with an undisclosed injury. He's typically been a starter for the team, making 20 starts in 24 appearances while leading the team in goals with seven. The forward is expected to return to the lineup for Tuesday's trip to Barcelona.

Sergio Herrera - Own goal disaster Herrera had six saves and allowed two goals, but also had an own goal in Friday's 2-0 loss versus Real Sociedad.

Impact Hererra got his first start since April 22 and made the mistake of letting the ball in the net Friday to ruin the clean sheet. He has been rotating with Aitor Fernandez, starting six times in the last 11 games. Overall, the keeper has allowed 18 goals on 43 saves and three clean sheets.

Ezequiel Avila - On bench Friday Avila (undisclosed) was included in the match-day squad versus Real Sociedad on Friday.

Impact Avila has been an unused substitute for three straight matches and appears to be dealing with an injury after being removed from the starting XI versus Cadiz on Tuesday. If the forward can get back to being 100 percent, he should be in the mix for regular starts but for now, may have to settle for a bench role.

APRIL 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

David Garcia - Out with nose injury Garcia was not called up by Osasuna for Friday's clash against Real Sociedad due to a nose injury he suffered in the mid-week win over Cadiz.

Impact Osasuna announced Wednesday that Garcia has picked up a nose injury that requires surgery to fix, though the surgery can be put off presumably if he wears a mask while continuing to play. Garcia will weigh over his options while resting for 72 hours after sustaining the injury, and he's been ruled out of Friday's game in the meantime. Unai Garcia is likely to partner Aridane in central defense in David Garcia's absence versus Sociedad.

Kike Garcia - Eligible to return Kike will be available to feature in Friday's clash against Real Sociedad after serving a one-game suspension.

Abdessamad Ezzalzouli - Sent off in victory Ez Abde (suspension) recorded no stats in Tuesday's 1-0 victory over Cadiz. He was sent off with a straight red card in the 85th minute.

Impact Ezzalzouli replaced Ruben Garcia in the 83rd minute. He was sent off in the 85th minute itself for violent conduct. This was a disappointing cameo. He will miss the next game against Real Socieded.

APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Manuel Sanchez - Assists in victory Manu Sanchez assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Cadiz. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 86th minute.

Impact Sanchez assisted Ruben Garcia in the 62nd minute for the only goal of the match. He was exceptional and made four tackles and two clearances. He was also booked for the first time since February. He has failed to score this season and supplied only two assists.

APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Abdessamad Ezzalzouli - Sent off Tuesday Abde was shown a straight red card during the second half of Tuesday's clash with Cadiz.

Impact Abde was shown a straight red card for dangerous play and will now be suspended for at least two matches. The foul will be reviewed for a potentially longer suspension. Abde started six of his last seven matches on the left wing and will be a major loss in the starting XI. Kike Barja will likely take over on the left wing for a Friday clash with Sociedad and a May 2 trip to Barcelona.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ezequiel Avila - Pulled from starting XI Avila suffered an injury during the warmup and won't feature in the starting XI versus Cadiz.

Impact Avila had been dealing with a leg injury that kept him out of the squad for three straight matches, so it's possible that this latest ailment is related. In his stead, Ante Budimir will replace Avila on the pitch for Tuesday's tilt with Cadiz.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Torro - Should be available Tuesday Torro (undisclosed) was called up by Osasuna for Tuesday's clash against Cadiz.

Impact Torro has missed his side's last three games with an injury he suffered just before the March international break, but he seems to have recovered and could even be in contention for a starting spot in midfield against Cadiz.
