ARIDANE HERNANDEZ NEWS

Goes distance in loss Aridane made two interceptions while playing for the full 90 during Monday's 2-0 loss to Villarreal.

Impact Aridane started for a second straight match, largely due to the suspension of David Garcia in the last round against Valencia and now of Unai Garcia in Monday's game. As a result, unless Aridane did enough to impress his manager in a loss, the Garcias should pair at center-back for most games.

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.

Now makes squad list Aridane made the squad list for Saturday's match against Cadiz.

Impact Aridane wasn't available for the first match of the season against Sevilla but now returns to the team. Depending on if Unai Garcia (head) is able to start, Aridane could play a bigger role this weekend.

Not in squad Aridane wasn't named to the squad list for Friday's match against Sevilla.

Impact Aridane started in 12 of his 15 appearances last season and if this is how the new campaign gets under way, he may not be much more than an alternate option. Should David Garcia get snatched away by another club, Aridane can ascend back to the lineup with more consistency.

Returns to bench in season finale Aridane was an unused substitute in last weekend's defeat against Mallorca.

Impact Aridane missed five months from October-March with a calf injury, meaning he finishes the campaign with just three clean sheets in 15 La Liga appearances (12 starts) for Osasuna. The 33-year-old will want to win back his starting spot in central defense alongside David Garcia next season.

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.

Comes off bench in win Aridane logged nine minutes off the bench during Saturday's 1-0 win over Villarreal.

Impact Aridane returned from a long-term absence that's seen him unavailable since September. As he's started in six of his seven appearances this season, it wouldn't be surprising if he finds his way into the lineup soon. Up next is a trip to Barcelona.

On bench against Sociedad Aridane (undisclosed) is in Osasuna's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Real Sociedad.

Could be ready to return Osasuna manager Jagoba Arrasate said Tuesday that Aridane (undisclosed) will be available for Sunday's clash against Real Sociedad.

On bench Monday Aridane (calf) will be an option off the bench versus Eiche on Monday.

Impact Aridane will be back in the match-day squad for the first time since Sept. 26 versus Mallorca. Barring any setbacks, the defender could be in contention for the starting XI moving forward, though he's unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value given his limited offensive upside.

NOVEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out Wednesday Aridane (calf) will be out for Wednesday's clash with Real Madrid after failing to make the initial squad list.

Impact Aridane will miss yet another match as he fails to make the traveling squad. The calf injury obviously isn't healing as fast as was once hoped, and it's quickly becoming apparent he may be out until after the international break. Look for a return to training to start to have faith in Aridane returning to the starting XI.

OCTOBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined versus Granada Aridane (calf) will miss Friday's clash with Granada.

Impact Aridane last featured for the club Sept. 26 versus Mallorca in which he was forced off in the 70th minute. Considering the central defender has managed just two shots (zero on target), fantasy players shouldn't expect him to provide much in the way of fantasy value outside of clearances even once cleared to play.

Impact It is unclear whether Aridane will be forced to miss additional game time due to his injury. Unai Garcia could fill in for him at center back next weekend against Rayo if necessary.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Own goal in loss Aridane scored an own goal and made three clearances during Sunday's 4-1 defeat to Valencia.

Impact Aridane was under immense pressure right from the opening kick off, and in the end cracked, conceding an own goal. The defender did add some strong defensive volume, but the own-goal is a rough start. Next up is a Saturday trip to Alaves.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back in starting XI Aridane (calf) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Celta Vigo.

Impact Aridane missed the last few weeks with a calf injury, but he makes a quick return and is in the XI Monday. He takes the spot of Unai Garcia and is expected to remain a starter at center-back going forward after starting 53 matches the last two campaigns.

AUGUST 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with tear in calf Aridane suffered a torn calf muscle, his club announced Friday.

Impact Aridane could miss at least a month after picking up this injury just before the season began. He made 24 starts last season but it's the pairing of Unai and David Garcia that could begin the season at center-back.

AUGUST 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out against La Real Aridane (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's season finale against Real Sociedad.

Impact Aridane will miss the final three matches of the season due to injury after starting in all 24 of his appearances. In his place, Unai Garcia and David Garcia are one option to pair at center-back.

MAY 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in training Aridane was a limited participant in Wednesday's training session.

Impact Aridane had missed Monday's 3-2 win over Cadiz and hasn't quite recovered his fitness. If healthy, Aridane has started all but two of the last 15 matches, so he should be able to return to the lineup. If that doesn't happen, look to Unai Garcia and David Garcia as an option to pair up at center-back.
