Ante Budimir - Page 3 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

However, with such a scary injury, the club is taking his return cautiously. That said, he will likely need another week to recover, possibly facing a late fitness to face Mallorca on Tuesday, but he is more likely to return against Atletico Madrid on May 19. Either way, the forward should return before the end of the season.

More should be known once he is released from the medical center, but expect Raul Garcia to start while he is out.

Completes team training Budimir (illness) took part in team training, his club announced Tuesday,

Impact Budimir looks to already be recovered from his illness, as he was back in team training after leaving his international duty with Croatia due to an illness.

MARCH 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns from international duty Budimir is dealing with an illness after returning from his international duties early, the club announced Monday.

Impact Budimir appears to be heading to the sidelines for a short period, as he was forced to return from international duty with Croatia due to a "feverish" issue. Luckily for the player, he will now have four days to heal up, with the club not taking the field again until Saturday against Almeria. With that being said, he should most likely still be an option for the match, hoping to retain his starting role, having only missed three starts in the club's 29 games this campaign.

In sizzling form Budimir scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Real Madrid.

The goal was Budimir's 15th in La Liga this season, having already eclipsed his previous career best of 13 goals in La Liga with Mallorca during the 2019-2020 campaign. Budimir has consistently been one of the first names on the Osasuna team sheet all season, having made 29 appearances (26 starts).

Makes starting XI Budimir (nose) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Alaves.

Impact Budimir will not miss any time despite receiving a fracture in his nose in the club's last contest, as he has made the starting XI and will most likely be wearing a mask for the contest. This comes as a bit of a surprise, as the player was not expected to play even though he was working with the team. He should most likely remain in the starting XI moving forward, as he has only missed three starts all season.

MARCH 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Begins individual training Budimir (nose) started individual training ahead of Monday's match against Alaves.

Impact Budimir is already on the road to recovery after obtaining a fractured nose following Saturday's match against Cadiz. This is excellent news for the club, as the forward has started in all but three contests this season, although he most likely will still need another week to recover and won't face Alaves.

Won't require surgery Budimir will not require surgery to repair a right sinus fracture, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact It's certainly good news that Budimir will not have to undergo surgery but the club's release did state that he "will begin a conservative treatment," which would seem to indicate that he won't be ready to face Deportivo Alaves on Monday.

Suffers nose injury Budimir has been confirmed to have picked up a fracture in his nose, the club announced Monday.

Impact Budimir's loss is an unfortunate turn of events for Osasuna, as he has been a regular starter and their best goal scorer this season, getting the start in all but three matches this season while notching 13 goals in 26 appearances. The forward still has to undergo further testing to determine if he will need surgery or not, which could make a huge difference in his recovery, as he should be expected to miss around two weeks if it is not needed but would miss around a month if surgery was required. Either way, his absence will cause change within the starting XI, with Raul Garcia being his most likely replacement.

FEBRUARY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nets brace in 2-0 victory Budimir scored two goals to go with four shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Cadiz.
