Aimar Oroz
OSA
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.
Analysis: 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.
Training away from group Monday
Oroz (undisclosed) trained away from the group Monday and remains uncertain for Sunday's match against Racing Santander.
Analysis: 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.
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.
Analysis: 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.
Back available moving forward
Oroz (hamstring) trained fully with the team Tuesday for the second consecutive session, and is available moving forward, according to the club.
Analysis: Oroz had been expected to be out for around four weeks with the hamstring injury suffered in the win over Getafe, a timeline that lines up with the club's return from the international break. Moi Gomez and Romain Del Castillo had seen increased time in the number 10 role during his absence, and this full return to training now confirms he is ready to reclaim his spot.
Set to miss around four weeks
Oroz (hamstring) is set to miss around four weeks, according to Gorka Fiuza of Diario De Navarra.
Analysis: Oroz left Monday's 1-0 win over Getafe with a hamstring injury, and the tests confirmed the playmaker will be sidelined for around four weeks, putting him on track to return after the October international break. With Oroz out, Moi Gomez and new signing Romain Del Castillo are candidates to see more playing time in the No. 10 role.
Suffers hamstring injury
Oroz suffered a hamstring injury in Monday's 1-0 win over Getafe and will undergo tests to determine the severity of the problem, the team announced Monday.
Analysis: Oroz left the game in the 71st minute, and the initial diagnosis isn't promising. The star playmaker will undergo tests to check the severity of the problem, but it wouldn't be surprising if he has to miss additional time. If that's the case, names such as Raul Moro, Moi Gomez and Iker Munoz would all be in line to potentially see more time in the attacking midfield.
Clears neck issue, set to start
Oroz (neck) has been included in the matchday squad and is set to start Saturday's clash against Barcelona, the club posted.
Analysis: Oroz had missed training earlier in the week due to cervical discomfort sustained during the Sevilla match, making his clearance a significant relief for Osasuna heading into one of their toughest remaining fixtures of the season. The midfielder should slot straight back into the starting lineup against the Blaugranas.
Neck issue
Oroz (neck) did not train with the rest of the squad Wednesday due to cervical discomfort sustained during the match against Sevilla, according to the club.
Analysis: Oroz's absence from training raises doubts about his availability for Saturday's clash against Barcelona. No further details have been provided on the severity of the issue, leaving his status for the weekend uncertain as Osasuna's medical staff monitor his condition over the coming days. Moi Gomez is expected to see increased minutes if he is unavailable.
