Impact Herrera has missed each of the last two matches with a knee issue but is back for the final match before the World Cup.

Impact Fernandez has started in three of the last four matches, conceding just one goal and starting two straight games with starter Sergio Herrera dealing with a knee issue. For Fernandez, his regular role is as a backup but he's in a good team to perform whenever asked to start.

Impact Gomez has scored one goal and logged one assist in his last two starts, becoming a revelation in his first season for Osasuna and more recently excelling as a central-midfielder. Whenever Gomez and his teammates are in good form, he's worth following as the key that makes their offense tick.

Ezequiel Avila - Scores twice in win Avila scored two goals from two shots and conceded a yellow card during Saturday's 2-1 win over Celta Vigo.

Impact Avila has shown some impressive form when playing on the right wing, scoring three goals in his last two games and five of his six goals this season in that position. So long as he can stay on the field while avoiding both injury and suspension, this season could be a special one for Avila.

With an assist this match and 90 minutes played, the 20-year-old will continue to start in the right midfield for Osasuna. He currently has two goals, one assist, 10 interceptions and seven tackles (four won) thus far.
