Raul Moro - Starts in last friendly Moro (foot) is in the starting squad for Saturday's friendly against Arenas Club, the club posted.

Impact Moro had been forced off with a foot injury in the earlier friendly against Al Ain, a setback that came after nearly scoring with a shot off the crossbar and followed a difficult stretch that had already seen him miss a match against Napoli as a precaution. His return to the starting lineup is an encouraging sign that the issue was not serious, positioning him to compete for a spot on the left wing heading into the season opener against Levante on August 24.

Rockson Yeboah - Signs five-year Osasuna deal Yeboah has completed a permanent transfer to Osasuna from IFK Goteborg, agreeing to a five-year deal through 2031, the club announced.

Impact Yeboah is a center back known for his pace, his aerial presence and strong defensive numbers, winning close to 75 percent of his defensive duels and over 77 percent of his aerial duels at Goteborg. He made 44 appearances for Goteborg's first team, scoring twice, and now heads to Pamplona to reinforce Osasuna's backline under coach Eduardo Ramis ahead of the LaLiga season.

Diego Rico - Signs with Osasuna Rico signed a one year contract with Osasuna, the club announced.

Impact Rico came through Burgos' academy before breaking into professional football with Real Zaragoza in the second division, later moving through Leganes, Bournemouth in England and Real Sociedad before joining Getafe initially on loan in 2023-24 and becoming an important piece under coach Jose Bordalas in recent seasons. The 33-year-old left back has amassed 185 LaLiga appearances along with 39 Premier League matches and 9 in the Europa League, known for his intensity, ball speed and reliability in duels. Rico is expected to bolster Osasuna's left back options under coach Luis Miguel Ramis this season.

Valentin Rosier - Still not training Rosier (hamstring) has yet to return to training, making him a serious doubt for Sunday's league opener against Celta Vigo, the club announced.

Impact Rosier's absence traces back to a torn biceps femoris in his right leg, an injury tied to the same muscle that caused tendon damage and ruled him out for five matches last October against Atletico Madrid, with an initial recovery estimate of three to four weeks. He had still not returned to training by Tuesday, and with the league opener arriving Sunday, the timeline is now tight enough that even a bench role looks unlikely for him. As a result, Inigo Arguibide appears set to continue as Osasuna's starting right-back to begin the season.

AUGUST 11 • ROTOWIRE

Raul Moro - Forced off with foot injury Moro (foot) was forced off with a foot injury in the 84th minute of Osasuna's friendly against Al Ain, the club announced.

Impact Moro went down after twisting his foot while attempting to intercept a pass, staying down in visible pain before receiving treatment and being replaced by Unai Santos in the 84th minute after Osasuna gave him a few minutes to try to continue. He had shown encouraging signs before requesting the substitution, nearly scoring in the 55th minute with a shot that struck the crossbar. This setback follows a difficult stretch for the winger, who had already missed the friendly against Napoli as a precaution after hurting his foot against Norwich before returning to group training this week. Moi Gomez and Jonathan Dubasin are the most likely candidates to fill in on the left wing if Moro is unavailable for the season opener, with a medical exam still needed to determine the exact severity of the injury.

AUGUST 9 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Torro - Rejoins group session Torro trained normally alongside his teammates after being rested for Wednesday's friendly against Napoli, the club announced.

Impact Torro's absence from that match had been a precautionary measure as Osasuna managed a busy preseason schedule. The squad returned to their Tajonar training center Thursday following an early morning arrival back in Pamplona from Italy, with coach Luis Miguel Ramis scheduling a recovery session for players who had seen the most minutes. Torro's presence in full training is encouraging news ahead of the club's last preseason friendly. Torro is expected to be available going forward as preseason concludes.

AUGUST 6 • ROTOWIRE

Raul Moro - Back in full training Moro (leg) is back in full training with the rest of his teammates, the club announced.

Impact Moro had been left out of Wednesday's friendly against Napoli in Italy as a precaution before Osasuna returned to their Tajonar training center Thursday. His return to group training is a positive sign ahead of the club's final preseason friendly. No specific injury has been disclosed, with the absence described as purely precautionary. Moro is expected to continue building toward full match involvement as preseason wraps up.

AUGUST 6 • ROTOWIRE

Raul Moro - Ruled out as precaution Moro (leg) is not traveling with Osasuna's squad for Wednesday's friendly against Napoli, held out for preventive reasons, according to the club.

Impact Moro recently played 45 minutes in the friendly against Racing Santander after working through a leg injury earlier in the week, so this absence appears to be a cautious step back rather than a new setback. He remains on track to be ready for the start of the new season, likely competing with Kike Barja for a spot on the left flank.

AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Torro - Held out as preventive measure Torro (undisclosed) is not traveling with Osasuna's squad for Wednesday's friendly against Napoli, held out for preventive reasons, according to the club.

Impact Torro finished last season without a goal despite taking 29 shots across 34 appearances, including 31 starts, contributing one assist over the campaign. His absence from this trip appears to be precautionary rather than tied to any specific new issue, and he should remain available for the club's season opener against Celta Vigo on Aug. 16.

AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE

Valentin Rosier - Not traveling due to muscle injury Rosier is not traveling with Osasuna's squad for Wednesday's friendly against Napoli due to a torn biceps femoris in his right leg, according to the club.

Impact Rosier had been dealing with the same muscle he injured last October against Atletico Madrid, an issue that also caused tendon damage and kept him sidelined for five matches at the time. He is expected to need three to four weeks to recover, leaving Osasuna traveling to England for upcoming friendlies with Inigo Arguibide Goni as the club's only recognized right back.

AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE

Jonathan Dubasin - Inks four year deal Dubasin signed a four year contract with Osasuna through 2030, according to the club.

Impact Dubasin scored 17 goals with four assists last season for Sporting, including one in the Copa del Rey, across 37 league appearances and one cup match, following a debut campaign there in which he scored eight goals with nine assists. The 26 year old forward, capable of playing across the front line, previously came through Girona's academy with loan spells at Figueres, Costa Brava and Logrones before a productive stint at Albacete led to his move to Basel and eventually Spain. He joins Osasuna's preseason trip to England, with an official presentation to follow upon the squad's return.

JULY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Valentin Rosier - Facing hamstring tear Rosier is facing what is believed to be a torn biceps femoris in his right leg and will need three to four weeks to recover, according to Diario de Navarra.

Impact Rosier did not train and is awaiting further medical tests, though initial signs point to the same muscle he injured last October against Atletico Madrid, an issue that also caused tendon damage and kept him out five matches at the time. He left the field limping noticeably after just 14 minutes of Wednesday's session. His absence leaves Osasuna traveling to England for upcoming friendlies with Inigo Arguibide as the club's only recognized right back.

JULY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Raul Moro - Not in squad for Racing friendly Moro (leg) wasn't in the squad for Friday's friendly match against Racing Santander.

Impact Moro picked up a leg injury earlier this week in training, and Osasuna are taking a cautious approach with his recovery. Moro's next chance to play will be in the friendly match against Ipswich Town on Wednesday, July 29.

JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Raul Moro - Cuts session short with leg issue Moro did not complete Wednesday morning's session, leaving training early with discomfort in the back of his right leg, though the issue is not expected to be serious, according to...

Impact Moro's early exit from training is being described as precautionary rather than the sign of a serious issue. Osasuna will be hoping it proves to be nothing, given that Moro is the likely option to fill the left wing role following Victor Munoz's departure, making his fitness a notable point of focus heading into the new season.

JULY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Ruben Garcia - Training normally Garcia has trained normally with the squad over several consecutive sessions, the club announced.

Impact Garcia's injury, an ankle sprain suffered in last season's finale that avoided any bone damage, now appears to be fully resolved. He closed out last season with two goals and five assists across 35 appearances, including 28 starts. His consistent participation in training points to a clean bill of health ahead of the new campaign. Garcia is expected to be fully available as Osasuna's preseason preparations continue.

JULY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Ante Budimir - Starts, takes two shots in loss Budimir recorded two shots (zero on goal) in Thursday's 2-1 loss to Portugal.

Impact Budimir took the second-most shots for Croatia, but couldn't help them avoid the frustrating loss. The forward logged his second start and third appearance in World Cup play, but was subbed off during halftime. He finished it with one goal in three shots and 156 total minutes.

JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Ante Budimir - Non existent Saturday Budimir recorded four accurate passes in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Ghana.

Impact Budimir struggled to make an impact on Saturday, failing to register a shot and managing only nine touches in 66 minutes against Ghana. He earned the start after scoring off the bench versus Panama, but he was unable to build on that momentum and offered little threat for Croatia in this match. With such a quiet performance, Petar Musa is the more likely option to return to the starting lineup for Thursday's Round of 32 clash with Portugal, where Croatia will need more presence and productivity up front.

JUNE 27 • ROTOWIRE

Ante Budimir - Scores winner versus Panama Budimir scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Tuesday's 1-0 victory over Panama.

Impact After not appearing in the opening match versus England, Budimir subbed onto the pitch at halftime versus Panama. It did not take him long to make an impact as he scored in the 54th minute off an excellent Josip Stanisic cross. It was his only shot in the match but it was enough to earn Croatia its first win of the 2026 World Cup. Next up is a crucial matchup versus Ghana on Saturday, and a win is necessary for Croatia to finish second in the group. Ghana has not allowed a goal through two matches, so Budimir could see more playing time to try and break through that defense.

JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE

Ante Budimir - Scores off bench against Panama Budimir scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Tuesday's 1-0 victory versus Panama.

Impact Budimir served as a backup option for the second straight game, but he finally got his first minutes in the tournament and took advantage of the opportunity to notch a game-winning finish in the 54th minute. He took Petar Musa's place at the beginning of the second half, and the goal came from his lone attempt in the game. The next clash against Ghana will present a solid chance for the Osasuna striker to remain productive as he challenges Musa for the No. 9 spot.

Liverpool trigger Victor Munoz's £34m release clause as Reds hijack Newcastle's move for Osasuna winger

Raul Garcia - Signs contract extension until 2031 Garcia has signed a contract extension with Osasuna until June 2031, a five-season commitment that adds three years to his previous deal, the club announced.

Impact Garcia ends his third season at Osasuna having scored 14 goals across all competitions, seven in La Liga and seven in the Copa del Rey, with the latter total making him the top scorer in the cup competition this edition. Garcia has now scored 27 goals in three seasons for the club, a tally that places him alongside some of the most important strikers in Osasuna's recent history such as Webo and Nino, all while competing for minutes with Ante Budimir, the club's all-time top scorer in the top flight.
