Sergio Herrera - Allows three goals to Rayo Herrera made three saves and allowed three goals in Monday's 3-1 defeat versus Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Herrera made some good saves, but they were offset by the three goals conceded and his team's defeat at Vallecas. He has been struggling of late, totaling nine goals against in his last four league games. Fortunately for him, he'll have a chance to bounce back playing at home where the results have been much better for Osasuna, now facing 19th-ranked Las Palmas.

Ante Budimir - On bench Monday Budimir (thigh) is on the bench for Monday's match against Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Budimir has recovered enough from the injury he picked up with Croatia to be a part of the team sheet Monday but still isn't fit enough for the start, as he was left on the bench to begin. He has started in their first four matches of the season, so it is at least positive to see him back on the team sheet. The forward will look to get time to test his legs against Rayo, likely returning to the starting XI in their next contest.

Ante Budimir - Suffers injury while with Croatia Budimir was limited to individual training Thursday after returning from Croatian national team duty with a thigh injury, according to his club.

Impact Budimir looks to be questionable heading into the weekend, having suffered a thigh issue over the past two weeks of international duty. This will be something to monitor, as he only trained individually Thursday, leaving him as a late call for Monday. He will likely see a fitness test before the match to decide his availability, possibly getting the start if fit after starting in all four games to begin the season. However, if left out, Raul Garcia will be his most likely replacement.

Ante Budimir - Assist to opening goal Budimir assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-2 win over Celta Vigo.

Impact In Osasuna's three-goal performance Sunday, Budimir helped kick off the festivities by logging an assist to a goal scored by Enzo Boyomo. The former's 2024-25 season has commenced slowly, but his latest assist ideally gets him going as a goal-contributing forward.

Sergio Herrera - Concedes two goals Herrera had three saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 3-2 victory against Celta Vigo.

Impact Herrera was better Sunday than in his previous appearance, though not by much. He still conceded multiple goals, and the goalkeeper's three saves were not really all that much to compensate for his concessions. Herrera's next opportunity to redeem himself is at Rayo Vallecano on Sept. 16.

Herrera and Osasuna's next test will come Sunday as they play host to Celta Vigo who have scored eight goals over their first three matches.

Jose Arnaiz - Earns bench spot Arnaiz (strain) is on the bench for Thursday's match against Girona.

AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Arnaiz - On squad list Arnaiz (strain) has been named to the squad list and is available for Thursday's match against Girona, according to his club.

Impact Arnaiz missed out on the opening two matches of the season as he dealt with a strain. However, after training the last week, he is now fit and ready for action. He only started in nine of his 26 appearances last season and that trend is likely to continue this campaign, as he will probably only see time off the bench Thursday.

AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE

Iker Munoz - Suffers fractured foot Munoz has suffered a fractured fifth metatarsal in his left foot and will be out for at least the next two months, according to his club.

Impact Munoz went down Saturday with an injury that had yet to be diagnosed, with it now being known he suffered a fracture in his foot. He has appeared in both matches thus far, getting the start in one, so this will be a somewhat significant loss as he is a decent rotational player in the midfield. His absence will likely grant Bryan Zaragoza and Jon Moncayola more time, with a return probably coming around November or December.

He also managed to fire two shots at goal which were off target. The 26-year-old contributed three assists and a goal over the 2023-24 season.

Impact Oroz was Osasuna's most dangerous attacker Saturday firing five shots at goal. He was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet when one of his attempts struck the woodwork. He was subbed after 79 minutes. The exciting Spanish U23 international is maturing, he created an assist over the summer during the Olympics and is destined to improve on his single assist and no goals from 33 appearances last season.

Ruben Garcia - Nets winner against Mallorca Garcia scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-0 win over Mallorca.

He was subbed after 71 minutes. The 31-year-old did not have a distinguishing 2023-24 campaign, he found the net just three times from 30 appearances (19 starts).

Impact Herrera only had to make one save and a clearance Saturday enabling him to deliver his first clean sheet of the season. The regular starter produced nine clean sheets from 32 appearances last season which was a mediocre performance compared to his peers. He will be looking to build on this performance in Osasuna's next against Girona.
