Sergio Herrera - Concedes one in draw Herrera conceded one goal and made three saves during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Real Madrid.

Impact Herrera also played exceptionally well against Los Blancos last season but this time comes away with a point to show for it. An impressive season has seen Herrera concede more than one goal in just one of his seven starts, winning four times while drawing Sunday and losing two other results.

Ezequiel Avila - Completes suspension Avila completed his suspension during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Real Madrid and as a result should be available for Friday's match against Valencia.

Impact Avila was unlucky to be absent for a famous road draw but he'll still be happy for his team. He had scored three goals in six starts before his suspension and should return to the lineup as soon as possible, which should result in some changes after Ez Abde made his debut Sunday as well.

Abdessamad Ezzalzouli - Concedes yellow card in draw Abde conceded a yellow card, won three-of-three tackles and put two shots off target during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Real Madrid.

Impact Abde did more work defensively than in the attack during his first start since joining Osasuna but still helped his team to an impressive road draw. With Chimy Avila past his suspension after Sunday, Abde will hope he can keep his place in the lineup as Aimar Oroz (ankle) has also had issues staying available.

Unai Garcia - Logs assist in draw Garcia logged one assist from one chance created and made two interceptions during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Real Madrid.

Impact Garcia put in an inspired performance in addition to setting up Kike's equalizing goal, which seems to be a yearly tradition when these teams face each other. While clean sheets are less of a guarantee in a team that doesn't score much, Garcia offers reasonable production with four tackles made (three won) and 11 clearances logged in his last two matches.

Kike Garcia - Scores in draw Kike scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) during 82 minutes of Sunday's 1-1 draw with Real Madrid.

Impact Kike managed to score away from home on his first start of the season after coming off the bench in six straight appearances to open the season. With his appearance seeing a change in lineup and coming during the absence of Chimy Avila (suspension), it's worth being a little wary of Kike's potential until he makes the starting lineup a few more times.

Ruben Pena - Not mentioned as injured Pena (ankle) wasn't mentioned as injured during Friday's training session ahead of Sunday's trip to Real Madrid.

Impact While not a guarantee that Pena is fit now, the absence of his name from the report is a good sign he will be available. There's some competition for minutes if Ez Abde is in line for a start but the suspension of Chimy Avila leaves room for Pena to start if ready.

Abdessamad Ezzalzouli - Making difference Abde had logged one assist in three appearances off the bench to open his season on loan with Osasuna.

Impact Abde increased his minutes in all three of his appearances and it won't be long before he's contributing as a starter. Who makes way if he gets his chance is a different question, though Ruben Garcia and Aimar Oroz are probably who would see their minutes limited as Abde ups his game.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruben Pena - Doesn't train due to sprained ankle Pena missed Wednesday's training session due to a sprained ankle ahead of Sunday's trip to Real Madrid, his team has announced.

Impact Pena has missed two of the last three matches due to a thigh injury and now has another issue following the international break. Should he remain unavailable, it will be a good chance for Aimar Oroz to return to the lineup as Chimy Avila's suspension leaves a hole on the right wing.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Aimar Oroz - Trains with teammates Oroz (ankle) participated in Tuesday's training session ahead of Sunday's match against Real Madrid.

Impact Oroz has missed each of the last two league matches but is doing well to put his injury behind him for now. With two goals in four starts, Oroz has offered a major boost to his team and will hope to keep up the pace.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

David Garcia - Concedes fourth yellow in loss Garcia conceded a yellow card in 77 minutes of Sunday's 2-1 loss to Getafe.

Impact Garcia has started in all six matches this season and already conceded four yellow cards. While the team has been in food form and he has made 11 interceptions already, missing games due to suspension won't be helpful. Aridane could take his place in the lineup if needed though Manu Sanchez is also capable of featuring at center-back.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Aridane - Plays in friendly Aridane (illness) featured in Thursday's friendly against Valladolid.

Impact Aridane has yet to play this season but has at least returned following an illness that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to Getafe. He'll provide further depth off the bench behind Unai Garcia and David Garcia at center-back.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Aimar Oroz - Still working on ankle Oroz continues to work on rehabbing an injured ankle, his club announced Wednesday.

Impact Oroz has missed each of the last two matches after scoring twice in four starts to open the season. He still has the rest of the international break to work on his fitness and Ruben Garcia will fill his role in the attack until Oroz is ready to play.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Herrera - Concedes two in loss Herrera conceded two goals and made two saves during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Getafe.

Impact Herrera conceded more than one goal in a game for the first time in six starts to open the season. As he's come away victorious in four of his six starts, Herrera will need to hope that this match doesn't dent the confidence of his teammates when dealing with a surprising result.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruben Garcia - Logs four crosses in loss Garcia created one chance on four crosses and conceded a yellow card during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Getafe.

Impact Garcia has started in two straight games, recording similar stat lines but playing less and adding in a booking during Sunday's loss. With one goal and one assist in his last three appearances, Garcia can offer decent production in the right matchup but a lack of minutes can limit his ceiling.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Moi Gomez - Busy in loss Gomez created one chance from eight crosses (one accurate) during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Getafe.

Impact Gomez has created three chances in his last two matches but his team have scored just one goal in that time. As Gomez also takes most of the set pieces, his value should remain steady until someone can find the net with more consistency.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ante Budimir - Logs five shots in loss Budimir took five shots (zero on target) and conceded a yellow card during 77 minutes of Sunday's 2-0 loss to Getafe.

Impact Budimir has yet to score this season in five appearances, putting just one shot on target. With Chimy Avila suspended for one game, it's important for Budimir to find his goalscoring form soon or be pushed out of the lineup by Avila or Kike Garcia.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ezequiel Avila - Sent off in first half Avila was sent off in the first half of Sunday's match against Getafe.

Impact Probably the least surprising thing that could happen to Avila, he's picked up his first dismissal of the season after going without conceding a booking in three straight games. Still, one could only hope he's made stride away from this after some interesting challenges made last season. With three goals to his name so far, Ruben Pena could take his place on the right flank and Ante Budimir will have to shoulder more of the goalscoring burden during a suspension of at least one game, which will be Oct. 2 against Real Madrid.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Aridane - Ruled out for Getafe game Aridane will sit out Sunday's match versus Getafe due to an illness, Osasuna announced.

Impact Aridane came down with an illness overnight and won't be an option for this one. On the other hand, he has yet to feature this season.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Aimar Oroz - Ruled out for Getafe tilt Oroz (undisclosed) remains unavailable for Sunday's match against Getafe.

Impact Oroz will sit out the second consecutive game due to an undisclosed injury, with Osasuna being forced on their other midfielders in this one.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruben Pena - Available versus Getafe Pena (thigh) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Getafe.

Impact Pena resumed practicing earlier this week and is indeed returning after missing the past two matches with a strain. He'll begin on the bench, differently from the three initial matches, where he posted one assist, three shots (one on target), four chances created, and six crosses (three accurate).
