Osasuna awaits Oroz and Del Castillo recovery

Oroz and Del Castillo remain sidelined but expected to return within a week ahead of Sunday's match against Málaga.

Osasuna completed their second training session of the week on Wednesday at Tajonar with injury concerns over key players Aimar Oroz and Romain Del Castillo. Neither has yet rejoined group training, but the club expects both to return within the coming week with the visit of Málaga on Sunday 22 November as the target date for availability.

Both players are among Osasuna's most talented squad members but have had limited minutes due to various injuries. Manager Jagoba Arrasate will be keen to have them available to maintain the team's positive momentum at home.

Additionally, Aitor Fernández is undergoing medical tests after suffering discomfort in his right calf on Tuesday and is a doubt for the Málaga fixture. Alejandro Catena and Diego Rico completed individual sessions as planned. Ante Budimir is absent, currently on international duty with Croatia for UEFA Nations League matches against England on 12 November and the Czech Republic on 15 November.
