Picks up illness Pena (illness) will not be available to face Bilbao in the Copa del Rey due to illness and is therefore doubtful for Sunday's match against Rayo Vallecano, the club announced.

Impact Pena has not been a regular starter this season, although he did start the important match against Atletico in the opening La Liga game of the year. If he remains unavailable for Sunday's match against Rayo Vallecano, Kike Barja is likely to be the starter as the left winger.

Subbed in on Monday Pena recorded one cross (zero accurate) in Monday's 1-1 draw against Sevilla.

Whips in four crosses Pena had two shots (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus Valencia.

Impact Pena earned his first start of the season Tuesday, playing 77 minutes in the goalless draw. He was decent, notching one chance created, two shots and four crosses. He did serve on the right wing, outside of his usual spot in the defense, so it will be interesting to see if he sees more time in this role, with his prior four appearances all coming from the bench.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back against Celta Vigo Pena (undisclosed) is in the squad to face Celta Vigo on Sunday.

Impact Pena returns after missing Osasuna's last two matches through an injury picked up in the season opener. Pena is a locked in starter when fully fit, but will be eased back into action from the bench.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Works on recovery Pena was involved in recovery work Tuesday at training, according to his club.

Impact Pena looks to possibly be dealing with an injury, as the defender was limited to recovery work at training despite no news of an injury. This comes after he played 12 minutes off the bench in Saturday's draw, not appearing to have any issues as he left the field after full-time. That said, this will be something to monitor but he is most likely just dealing with a minor problem.

AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets tie off bench Pena (quadriceps) registered 24 minutes of play off the bench in the 3-0 win against Almeria on March 30.

Impact Pena made his way back to play against Almeria after a four-match spell on the bench due to a quadriceps issue, getting 24 minutes of play in his return. The defender will now look to get back into the starting XI in the club's next match, as before the injury, he only missed three starts in his 22 appearances on the team sheet.

APRIL 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Trains with team Pena (quadriceps) completed a team an entire session of group training, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Pena is ramping up his fitness once again, now working with the team after only training individually last week. This brings a lot of confidence to the fact that he will return after the international break, as he should be close to fit by next week, with the club's next match not being until March 30. The club will hope this comes to fruition and he is fit by then, as he has been a regular starter this season, not having missed a start when an option but has been held out for the club's past four matches due to his issues.

MARCH 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in training Pena (quadriceps) is back in individual training ahead of Saturday's match against Real Madrid.

Impact Pena is back on the training pitch for the first time since going down with an injury on Feb. 20, having missed three matches due to the issues. This leaves the defender most likely still out for Saturday's match, as with only three days until the contest, he will have to see a huge boost in his fitness to make the team sheet. He will most likely face a late fitness test either way to determine his status for the match, but there shouldn't be too much hope that he gets time in the game.

MARCH 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Left out of squad list Pena (quadriceps) is not an option for Monday's match against Alaves after being left out of the squad list.

Impact Pena will be missing his second match in a row, still having yet to heal from a quadriceps issue. This should come as no suprise for the defender, as he only started his rehabilitation work this past week, having yet to train with the group. Expect Jesus Areso to get the start in his place once again, with Pena now looking ahead to next's week match against Girona on Saturday for a return.

MARCH 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starts rehabilitation process Pena (quadriceps) has started to work on his recovery process ahead of Monday's match against Alaves.

Impact Pena recently missed out on the club's last match due to a quadriceps injury and is now starting his rehabilitation process a week after picking up the issue. This means the player is most likely going to miss Monday's match with only three days to recover until then, as he has yet to take part in training on the field or with the group. This means Jesus Areso will most likely get the start at right-back once again despite going down injured last week, as he is already training with the group and looks to be an option.

FEBRUARY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not an option for Sunday Pena (quadriceps) will not be available for Sunday's match against Las Palmas, according to the club.

Impact Pena had to concede his spot in the 60th minute of their last match against Cadiz due to a muscle issue and has yet to recover from the injury, as he is now out for the Las Palmas contest. This will affect the team, as he has started in all but six games this season, with Jesus Areso being his most likely replacement.

FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Injured again Pena is in question for Sunday's match against Las Palmas after the team doctors confirmed he has a muscle injury in his quadriceps.

Impact Pena just returned three matches ago after dealing with a hamstring issue but is heading back to the injury report after going down in the 60th minute against Cadiz with a quadriceps issue. This could be a brutal loss for the club if he misses any time, as he has been a regular starter, notching 19 starts this season. With a couple of days until their next contest, he will still have time to recover, so his status is still in the air for the match. If he is an option, the defender will most likely start, but if not, expect Juan Cruz to get the start.

FEBRUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back after one match Pena (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Celta Vigo.

Impact Pena looks to be the newest player being added to the injury report for Osasuna, having been announced as out due to load management reasons. The club still expects the wing-back to return on Sunday against Celta Vigo after staying back to work on his recovery with the team doctors. While the player is out, expect Jesus Areso to get the start out wide, continuing there until Pena is ready for a return.

Starting against Rayo Pena (hamstring) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Rayo Vallecano.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Option for Friday Pena (hamstring) looks to be an option for Friday's match against Rayo after being named to the squad list.

DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to full team training Pena (hamstring) joined team training on Wednesday, ahead of Friday's match against Rayo.

He could return Friday against Rayo, possibly getting a nod in the starting XI immediately, having started in 11 of the 14 matches he was available for before the knock.

DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready to return Pena (hamstring) is not in the squad to face Cadiz on Sunday.

DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Begins individual training Pena (hamstring) was viewed training individually ahead of Sunday's match against Cadiz.

Impact Pena seems to be making good progress on his rehabilitation, already starting individual training on Wednesday after missing Saturday's match against Real Sociedad. It is unlikely the midfielder will return for Sunday's match unless he trains with the team on Friday, so expect Ruben Garcia to get the start again. Once Pena returns, he should be right back in a starting role, as he has only missed out on the starting XI four times this campaign.

DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hamstring injury confirmed Pena underwent test that confirmed that he suffered a muscle injury to his hamstring and is set to sit out for the time being.

Impact Pena had started the last seven matches in a row for Osasuna, totaling an assist on 27 crosses (four accurate) and 12 clearances in that span. If he has to spend a few matches on the sidelines, then Chimy will likely be the favorite to get the start in the starting XI during his absence.

Impact Pena has worked his way up to be regular started for the team, making seven starts in eight appearances while recording an assist on 29 crosses (eight accurate). Since John Cruz (groin) is also dealing with an injury, then Johan Mojica could get the start at left back against Real Betis.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Whips in five crosses Pena recorded five crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 2-0 victory against Granada. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 65th minute.

Impact Pena had a decent display on Friday, registering five or more crosses for the fourth time this season. The 32-year-old now has 29 crosses through eight appearances this season. He has appeared in all but two matches this season and should be considered a regular starter.
