Sergio Herrera - Concedes once in draw Herrera made two saves and conceded one goal during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Espanyol.

Impact Herrera looked to have everything in control here but then in the 67th minute came Nico Melamed with a stunning long-range strike that gave him zero chance. With 16 saves and six goals allowed over his last four starts, the goalkeeper will try to bounce back during Wednesday's home clash against Getafe.

David Garcia - Makes seven clearances in draw Garcia had one off-target shot and made one tackle, seven clearances, two interceptions and one block during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Espanyol.

Impact Garcia made a great partnership with Aridane at the heart of the defense and put up very solid numbers while imposing his will against forwards for most of the match. The centre back can always fill the stat sheet on defense and will once again be a nice option as his side hosts struggling Getafe on Wednesday.

Aridane - Makes eight clearances in draw Aridane made eight clearances, three interceptions and two blocks during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Espanyol.

Impact Aridane had another strong performance at the heart of the defense for Osasuna, leading all players in clearances and keeping opposing forwards at bay during the entire contest. With 30 clearances and eight interceptions over his last four starts, the centre back will try to keep up with his stat-stuffing ways during Wednesday's home clash against Getafe.

Ante Budimir - Provides assist in draw Budimir made an assist, had four shots (two on target) and created two chances during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Espanyol.

Impact Budimir had his six-match scoring streak interrupted but at least assisted Kike Barja for the opening goal of the match with a beautiful through pass. This was only the second assist of the season for the striker, who will try to keep up with the strong play during Wednesday's home clash against Getafe.

Kike Barja - Scores in draw Barja scored a goal off his lone shot, sent in three inaccurate crosses, made three tackles (two won) and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Espanyol.

Impact Barja received his first start since January and made most of the opportunity, beautifully chipping the ball over the goalkeeper to open the scoring for Osasuna in the 43rd minute after picking up a through pass. The forward couldn't produce at the same level after halftime which ultimately led him to be subbed off in the 73rd minute. Barja will hope this goal, his second over 18 appearances this season, is enough for him to remain in the lineup for Wednesday's home clash against Getafe.

Oier - Leaving Osasuna after season Oier will not extend his contract with Osasuna at the end of the season, the club announced Monday.

Impact Oier will leave Osasuna with the sixth-most appearances all-time for the club, as he tallied 14 goals and 12 assists in 353 games in all competitions during his 14 seasons with the club since he made his debut in December 2007 (he spent one campaign on-loan with Celta Vigo in 2011/12). The 35-year-old was mostly utilized in defensive midfield but he could also play all across the defensive line, and although he only has six La Liga starts this season, he will likely be given some significant playing time across Osasuna's three remaining games.

Sergio Herrera - Concedes three, saves two penalties Herrera conceded three goals and made eight saves (two on penalties) during Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Real Madrid.

Impact Herrera prevented the score from being far worse as he stopped Karim Benzema from the spot twice in seven minutes but was still beaten three times. With a strong recent record against weaker sides but having conceded seven between two games against Real Madrid and Betis, Herrera should be in line for a better matchup against Elche.

Nacho Vidal - Logs four tackles in loss Vidal won two-of-four tackles and created one chance during Wednesday's 3-1 loss Real Madrid.

Impact Vidal did well to not pick up his tenth booking against a tough opponent but facing Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior over the course of 90 minutes doesn't make for an easy contest. Up next should be a better matchup against Elche, which have scored 36 goals in 33 matches.

Ezequiel Avila - Active in loss Avila put three shots off target and created two chances from five crosses (three accurate) during Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Real Madrid.

Impact Avila has made a solid dent in recent weeks, scoring twice in the last five matches and creating eight chances despite starting all but one game on the right flank. He should be able to keep up the pace in this role against Elche, which have conceded 44 goals in 33 games.

APRIL 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ante Budimir - Scores for fifth straight game Budimir scored one goal from five shots (two on goal) during Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Real Madrid.

Impact Budimir found the net for a fifth consecutive contest, a rare feat attributed to just one other player in the 21st century. What's also amazing about this streak is how productive he's been after struggling for much of the campaign until March, scoring just twice in his first 18 appearances. Up next is a trip to Elche, which have conceded 44 goals in 33 games.
