Ruben Garcia - Unlucky to miss out on assist Garcia generated two shots (zero on goal), seven crosses (four accurate) and six corners in Sunday's 2-0 win over Racing Santander.

Impact Garcia was solid in service, delivering four accurate crosses in seven attempts and adding six corners. He should have better statistical luck against Sevilla if he can maintain this volume. Sevilla have allowed 16 goals already through nine LaLiga matches this season.

Aitor Fernandez - Keeps a clean sheet Fernandez made one save and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 2-0 victory versus Racing Santander.

Impact There wasn't much to stop for Fernandez, who only had to make one save in this win. The goalkeeper is going to face much more pressure up next against Sevilla, a team that has scored 14 times in LaLiga play so far this season.

Raul Moro - Returns to squad Moro is back in Osasuna's squad for Sunday's La Liga clash against Racing Santander after recovering from a right hamstring injury, the club posted.

Impact Moro is set to return to competitive action after suffering a right hamstring injury during the draw against Rayo Vallecano in late September. The winger had been training individually throughout his recovery before gradually rejoining his teammates Friday, alongside Kike Barja, who is also available for Sunday's contest. Moro's return provides new coach Jagoba Arrasate with another attacking option for his first match back in charge, although the winger's recent absence and limited involvement in full training could result in a cautious approach to his playing time. Moro has yet to record a goal or assist across four La Liga appearances this season, with recurring fitness concerns disrupting his ability to establish a consistent role. He could initially be deployed off the bench as he works toward regaining full match fitness.

Impact Garcia has made a quick recovery after suffering an apparent hamstring injury during the 5-2 defeat against Real Betis, a match in which he scored one of Osasuna's two goals before being substituted in the 79th minute. His return to full training suggests the issue was relatively minor, allowing him to remain in contention for a starting role against Racing Santander. The forward's availability provides an important boost fornew coach Jagoba Arrasate, who also welcomes back Kike Barja and Raul Moro after their respective muscular problems. With all three attackers available again, Osasuna will have greater flexibility in its offensive rotations, although Garcia's recent injury could still influence his workload Sunday.

Kike Barja - Fit to face Racing Santander Barja (muscle) is fit to play in Sunday's La Liga clash against Racing Santander, the club posted.

Impact Barja has recovered from the muscular issue that had disrupted his preparations for Sunday's match against Racing Santander, providing new coach Jagoba Arrasate with an additional attacking option for his first game back in charge at El Sadar. The winger initially trained individually before gradually rejoining his teammates Friday, alongside Raul Moro, and has now been cleared to feature. However, his recent lack of full training could affect his involvement, with a substitute appearance potentially more realistic than an immediate return to the starting lineup. Barja will be looking to regain his match fitness and compete for regular minutes on the flank over the coming weeks.

Impact Moro has taken another step forward in his rehabilitation after suffering a right hamstring injury during the draw against Rayo Vallecano in late September. The winger had been working separately from his teammates in recent weeks but was able to participate in limited group activities Friday alongside Kike Barja, offering new coach Jagoba Arrasate additional attacking options ahead of his first match back in charge. However, Moro's reintegration remains gradual, and his availability Sunday will depend on how he responds to the increased training workload. The attacker has yet to register a goal or assist across four La Liga appearances this season, with his recurring fitness issues preventing him from establishing consistent playing time.

Impact Barja has made encouraging progress in his recovery after spending several training sessions away from the main group due to muscular discomfort. The winger rejoined his teammates for portions of Friday's session alongside Raul Moro, providing new coach Jagoba Arrasate with a potential boost ahead of his first match back in charge at El Sadar. However, Barja has yet to resume unrestricted training, and his participation Sunday will depend on his physical response over the coming days. Even if he receives clearance to feature, his recent lack of full training could limit his involvement, potentially making a substitute appearance more realistic than a starting role.

Aimar Oroz - Sidelined again with hamstring issue Oroz has begun another recovery process after medical tests confirmed an injury in his left hamstring, according to the club.

Impact Oroz has suffered a second problem in the same area this season, having already missed four league matches after a left hamstring tear. He returned to group training on Sept. 28 but was left out of the squad at Betis on Sunday after feeling discomfort in the final session, and tests have now confirmed a fresh injury with no timeline given.

Ruben Garcia - Bags assist Garcia assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 5-2 loss against Betis.

Impact Garcia was finally able to bag a goal contribution this season after eight appearances (six starts), with the attacking finding Ante Budimir in the 51st minute. That said, he will now start to hunt down his tally from last season, earning seven, while his career-high for a season is 10.

Alejandro Catena - Assist from defense Catena assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Sunday's 5-2 loss versus Betis. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 96th minute.

Impact Catena would come up from the defense to help his team get a goal in the rough loss, earning an assist when finding Raul Garcia in the 56th minute. This is his first goal contribution of the season, coming in seven appearances. He would also add an interception, two tackles and 14 clearances in the defense, a decent day if it weren't for the five goals given up.

Ante Budimir - Up and Down game Sunday Budimir scored one goal to go with an own goal and two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 5-2 loss versus Betis.

Impact Budimir had a strange match for Osasuna on Sunday as they were heavily defeated by Betis, helping both sides in the loss. He would have a rough start when netting an own goal in the 48th minute, giving Betis a 3-0 lead. However, he would quickly fix his mistake, netting a goal of his own in the 51st minute to get Osasuna on the board. That said, the forward is already at six goals in eight appearances (six starts) this season.

Aitor Fernandez - Allows five against Betis Fernandez recorded three saves and allowed five goals in Sunday's 5-2 loss versus Betis.

Impact Fernandez was in for a rough outing Sunday, as the keeper would make fewer saves than goals allowed, allowing five goals past him while stopping three shots. This is a third straight game without a clean sheet since getting the starting role, allowing 10 goals in those three starts. It has been a rough start for the keeper, although he could turn it around next match when facing Racing Santander on Oct. 18.

Raul Garcia - Trains with group Monday Garcia (hamstring) trained with the rest of the group Monday and should be an option to face Racing Santander on Sunday.

Impact Garcia was forced off in the 79th minute of Sunday's 5-2 La Liga defeat against Real Betis due to an apparent hamstring injury, a match in which he scored one of the team's two goals. However, his presence with the rest of the group in training suggests the forward should be available moving forward. His involvement in training over the next few days, and the absence of potential setbacks, will determine his full availability for Sunday. However, since Osasuna are missing Aimar Oroz (undisclosed), Kike Barja (undisclosed) and Raul Moro (hamstring), having Garcia available will be huge for the team's attacking depth.

OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Kike Barja - Doesn't train with group Monday Barja (undisclosed) trained away from the group Monday and remains uncertain for Sunday's match against Racing Santander.

Impact Barja was one of two players who trained away from the group Monday while nursing a muscular injury, with Aimar Oroz (undisclosed) being the other. Barja hasn't trained with the rest of the team since last week, so his involvement in the coming days will show whether he'll be available for Sunday's clash.

OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Aimar Oroz - Training away from group Monday Oroz (undisclosed) trained away from the group Monday and remains uncertain for Sunday's match against Racing Santander.

Impact Oroz was ruled out of the match against Real Betis over the weekend due to another muscular injury, so it's not surprising to see him training away from the group this early in the week. His involvement in the coming days will determine whether he can be an option to face Racing Santander on Sunday.

Raul Garcia - Scores goal before injury exit Garcia scored once before being forced off in the 79th minute of Sunday's 5-2 La Liga defeat against Real Betis due to an apparent hamstring injury.

Impact Garcia returned to action after recovering from an illness and made an impact offensively by finding the back of the net against Real Betis. However, his afternoon ended prematurely when he was forced off with an apparent hamstring problem, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming fixtures. The forward had resumed full training earlier in the week and was expected to provide additional attacking depth, particularly with Raul Moro (hamstring) and Romain Del Castillo (groin) already sidelined. The severity of Garcia's setback remains unclear, and further assessments will be needed to determine whether he faces a spell on the sidelines.

Aimar Oroz - Won't play vs. Real Betis Oroz won't be available for Sunday's game against Real Betis due to a new muscular injury, according to Diario De Navarra.

Impact Oroz was deemed available during the break after overcoming a hamstring injury, but he's dealing with another injury -- and this one is severe enough to keep him out of the Betis match. Oroz's next chance to play will come against Racing Santander on Sunday, Oct. 18. Moi Gomez could be in line for more minutes with Oroz sidelined.

Valentin Rosier - Ready to return from injury Rosier (hamstring) is available for Sunday's La Liga clash against Real Betis after recovering from a right biceps femoris injury sustained during preseason, as he wasn't mentioned...

Impact Rosier has completed his recovery from the hamstring injury that kept him sidelined throughout the opening stages of the season, having gradually increased his workload before returning to full team training. The right-back has now regained sufficient fitness to be available for selection against Betis, providing Osasuna with an additional defensive option. Inigo Arguibide has held down the starting role on the right side of defense during Rosier's absence, so the latter could initially be limited to a substitute role as he rebuilds his match fitness. However, Rosier should gradually push for increased playing time as he works his way back into the rotation.

Romain Del Castillo - Facing spell on sidelines Del Castillo (groin) is expected to be sidelined for some time after being diagnosed with a minor left adductor injury sustained during training Wednesday, according to the club.

Impact Del Castillo experienced discomfort during Wednesday's training session, with subsequent medical examinations confirming a minor injury to his left adductor. The attacking midfielder has already begun an individualized rehabilitation program and is now facing a spell on the sidelines, ruling him out of Sunday's La Liga clash against Real Betis. The setback comes shortly after he recovered from a digestive issue that had temporarily interrupted his training earlier in the week. Although the injury has been described as minor, the club has yet to establish a timetable for his return, leaving his availability for upcoming fixtures uncertain.

Kike Barja - Ruled out with muscle discomfort Barja trained individually Saturday as he continues to deal with muscular discomfort and has been ruled out for Sunday's La Liga clash against Betis, according to the club.

Impact Barja missed team training Wednesday and Thursday due to the muscle issue and remained limited to individual work Saturday, leaving him unavailable for Sunday's matchup. The winger has been part of Osasuna's rotation on the left flank this season, recording one goal, five shots and five chances created across 237 minutes, including three league starts. His absence further reduces Osasuna's options out wide, with Raul Moro also sidelined by a hamstring injury. Aimar Oroz or Moi Gomez could be called upon to fill the void against Betis, while Barja's return timeline remains uncertain.

Kike Barja - Doubtful after missing practice Barja didn't train with the team Wednesday and Thursday due to a muscular discomfort, Borja Bernarte of Diario de Navarra reports.

Impact Barja could be inactive for a short period as he's presumably dealing with a minor muscle issue, but his exclusion from regular work makes it difficult for him to see a meaningful outing in the next clash against Betis. He has been part of a rotation on the left flank, notching one goal in one of his three league starts so far, and tallying five shots and five chances created across 237 minutes on the field. If he can't go, his place could be filled by Aimar Oroz or perhaps Moi Gomez, given that a more natural winger like Raul Moro is also sidelined by a hamstring injury.

Impact Del Castillo has suffered a fresh setback shortly after recovering from the digestive issue that had temporarily kept him out of team training earlier in the week. Medical examinations confirmed a minor injury to his left adductor, leaving his availability for Sunday's La Liga clash against Real Betis uncertain. The attacking midfielder has already started a specific rehabilitation program, but the club has not provided a timeline for his return. His participation against Betis will depend on how he responds to treatment over the coming days.
