Nacho Vidal - Back available Saturday Vidal (undisclosed) is in the squad list for Saturday's clash against Osasuna.

Impact Vidal recovered from the injury that made him the last four games and is an option for Saturday's clash against Osasuna. The right-back has been an undisputed starter in Oviedo's defense and will likely reclaim his role now that that he is back, pushing Lucas Ahijado back to a bench spot.

Eric Bailly - Unlikely Saturday Bailly (undisclosed) is unlikely to be available for Saturday's clash against Osasuna, coach Guillermo Almada said in the press conference. "I don't think Eric will be there."

Impact Bailly is unlikely to recover in time for Saturday's clash against Osasuna due to the injury he has been dealing with since the game against Alaves. The center-back will likely be a late call for the game after the final training session on Friday.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

David Costas - Signs new contract Costas has signed a contract extension with Oviedo until the end of the 2027/28 season, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Costas has emerged as a reliable force out of the back for Oviedo, and his performances in the return to LaLiga have been rewarded with a two-year contract. Costas should remain a starter for Oviedo as long as he stays healthy this season.

Eric Bailly - Could be available Saturday Bailly (undisclosed) was spotted in team training on Wednesday and could be back available for Saturday's clash against Osasuna, according to La Voz de Asturias.

Impact Bailly missed the last game due to an injury but was back in team training on Wednesday. The center-back could be back available for Saturday's clash against Osasuna, although he will likely be monitored since he has been struggling with injuries in recent seasons. That said, if Bailly is fit to feature, he could return directly to the starting squad since he started in his last two appearances under new coach Guillermo Almada.

Haissem Hassan - Sends in eight crosses in draw Hassan recorded one shot (one on goal), eight crosses (four accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Betis.

Impact Hassan led Oviedo with a season-high eight crosses, but it wasn't enough to earn the win at home. The midfielder also logged the most chances created and duels won (seven) for his side. That was his 10th start in 18 overall appearances.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Fores - Assists in home draw Alex Fores assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Betis.

Impact Fores created Ilyas Chaira's opener in the 64th minute with his first assist in the season. He could not do much stat-wise other than that. That was his second start in 12 overall appearances.

Ilyas Chaira - Scores against Betis Chaira scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) and four crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Betis.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Escandell - Makes five saves in draw Aaron had five saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Betis.

Impact Aaron made five or more saves for the 11th time in 19 starts. The goalkeeper still has only four clean sheets over that span, though. He will now visit Osasuna on Saturday.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Nacho Vidal - Pictured in team training Vidal (undisclosed) was pictured in team training and seems to be nearing a return, the club posted.

Impact Vidal isn't far from making a return from his injury as he was spotted in team training. His next chance to make the match squad will come against Osasuna on Saturday and will be a boost for the backline since he has been a regular starter for Oviedo when fit. Until then, Lucas Ahijado has been starting at right-back to replace him.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Vinas - Clears suspension Vinas is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Impact Vinas has served his suspension following his straight red card against Alaves and is set to return in the next contest. The striker has been a regular starter in the attack for Oviedo recently and is expected to claim back that role against Osasuna on Saturday.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

David Carmo - Set for suspension Carmo will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in La Liga.

Impact Carmo accumulated five yellow cards in La Liga and will be suspended for the clash against Osasuna on Saturday. His absence will impact the starting squad since he has been a regular starter in the backline of Oviedo, with Dani Calvo likely starting in central defense to replace him for that clash.

Eric Bailly - Dealing with injury Bailly suffered an undisclosed injury in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Alaves and will be sidelined for the time being, according to Nacho Azparren Menendez of Diario AS.

Impact Bailly lasted 54 minutes in the draw and was forced off the game with a muscular injury. It's unclear when he'll be able to return, and since David Costas (strain) is also dealing with an injury, Oviedo are likely to look shorthanded against Betis on Saturday.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

David Costas - Dealing with muscular strain Costas is dealing with a muscular strain and is unlikely to be available for Saturday's game against Real Betis, according to Nacho Azparren Menendez of Diario AS.

Impact Costas has been training away from the rest of the group despite going the full 90 in the draw against Alaves. As things stand, he faces a steep challenge to be available for the match against Real Betis on Saturday. That means David Carmo, who's set to return from his AFCON duties, is likely to start at center-back.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Josip Brekalo - Active in draw vs. Alaves Brekalo had two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Brekalo has started in Oviedo's last two matches, but his performances have remained underwhelming. He's yet to play a full match for Oviedo in 2025-26 and has yet to record a goal contribution, so he shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside in most formats any time soon.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Escandell - Beaten once vs. Alaves Aaron registered six saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Aaron was doing a good job en route to keeping a clean sheet before he was beaten by a mesmerizing free kick from Lucas Boye. Even though Oviedo have struggled throughout the year, Aaron has been one of the team's best players. He has four clean sheets in his last eight outings while making 38 saves (4.8 per game) and conceding just eight times in that span.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Ilyas Chaira - Sets up goal in draw Chaira assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Chaira set up the opener for Oviedo with a low cross that was drilled home by Federico Vinas, who later got sent off. This was Chaira's first assist of the season, and in fact, it was the first time he delivered a goal contribution in the entire campaign despite starting in all but three of his 16 Liga appearances to date.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

David Carmo - Returns in draw against Alaves Carmo made six clearances, three tackles (one won) and one interception as a substitute in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Alaves.

Impact Carmo is back with his club following Angola's elimination from the AFCON, and he could be an option to start over Eric Bailly in upcoming games. Before leaving for international duty, Carmo was averaging a team-high 7.4 clearances per contest and had been involved in two clean sheets over the 2025/26 season.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Vinas - Scores, receives red card in draw Vinas scored a goal but earned a red card during the second half of Sunday's 1-1 draw with Alaves.

Impact Vinas finally scored his second goal of the season with a left-footed strike in the 56th minute Sunday, ending a six-game scoring drought. However, he was later sent off after receiving a pair of yellow cards. This is his third ban of the season, and he'll now miss the week 19 clash against Betis before returning to face Osasuna on Jan. 17. Oviedo have few No. 9 options following the Salomon Rondon's departure, but they could deploy Haissem Hassan or use the inexperienced Alex Fores in that spot while Vinas serves his suspension.
