Osasuna has confirmed the first injuries of the season following their 1-0 win over Getafe, with Jorge Herrando and Aimar Oroz both forced off the pitch. The Navarrese club issued initial medical reports on Thursday and both players will be examined at the Clínica Universidad de Navarra to determine the severity of their issues. This setback comes as Luis Miguel Ramis's team sits fifth in La Liga with seven points, just two behind leaders Barcelona.
Herrando's exit came in the 39th minute due to discomfort in his left adductor, with Enzo Boyomo coming on as his replacement. The central defender had started the first three league matches under Ramis, showing a defensive solidity that has helped the team concede only one goal so far this campaign. His absence presents a first test of depth for a back line that has functioned with notable efficiency.
What is Aimar Oroz's condition?
Aimar Oroz, meanwhile, had to be substituted in the 71st minute because of a left hamstring injury. Raúl García de Haro took his place in midfield. Oroz is a key piece in Ramis's setup, and his potential absence would be a significant blow to the team's balance. Medical tests in the coming days will be decisive in establishing recovery timelines for both men and their availability for the next fixture.
How do these absences affect the next match?
The immediate question is the availability of Herrando and Oroz for Sunday's match, September 6th, against Alavés. The initial medical report lists them as doubtful, pending the results of imaging tests. Ramis and his coaching staff will have to evaluate alternatives within a squad that, despite these problems, maintains a good results streak with two wins and a draw from their first three games.

What is the context of Osasuna's season?
These injuries occur at a time of great solidity for CA Osasuna. The team has taken seven points from a possible nine, scoring three goals and conceding just one, giving them a +2 goal difference. This positive start places them in the fight for the higher positions in the table, which you can check on standings. The next matchday, after the clash with Alavés, will see them visit Real Sociedad on January 3rd, 2027, an opponent currently sitting 13th in the table.
