Osasuna kicks off pre‑season on July 10, aiming to reverse a streak of five straight defeats. Currently, the club sits 17th in La Liga with 42 points, 11 wins, 9 draws and 18 losses from 38 games, having scored 44 goals while conceding 50.

What does this training start mean?

The start of training gives manager Jagoba Arrasate the first chance to assess his players' fitness and test new tactics. With a season that ended in the relegation zone, every minute of work will be closely monitored. Moreover, the arrival of several late‑window signings requires time to blend them into the squad.

Why is this critical for the campaign?

Osasuna must quickly change its playing style; the latest loss to Getafe (1‑0 on May 23) left the team without points and confidence. With a –6 goal difference, the defence has shown weaknesses that the manager must fix before the next official fixture against Ipswich, scheduled for July 29 in England.

What roster changes are expected?

During the transfer window, the club added two midfielders and a young striker, whose goal is to bring creativity and goals. Internal competition will be fierce, as several veteran players fight to keep their starting spots. Arrasate has said meritocracy will be the rule of the game.

What’s next for Osasuna?

After the training phase, the team prepares for its first international clash against Ipswich, a friendly that will serve as a fire‑test for the new signings. If the club manages at least a draw, it could regain some morale before returning to domestic competition. Pressure remains high, but the calendar offers a window to correct mistakes before La Liga resumes.
