Rockson Yeboah earned his first call-up to the Osasuna first team for their LaLiga EA Sports match against Getafe. The Ghanaian centre-back was among the 24 players named to the squad for the Saturday, August 31st fixture at El Sadar, scheduled for 19:30. Osasuna approached their third league game of the season sitting eighth in the table with four points from one win and one draw.
Who is Rockson Yeboah?
Rockson Yeboah is a Ghanaian central defender who joined the Navarrese club prior to this call-up. His inclusion in the matchday squad marks a significant step in his adaptation to Spanish football and the dynamics of the senior team. The player, who had yet to make his official debut for Los Rojillos, now becomes an option for the coaching staff in a defensive line that features players like Catena and David García. His progression can be tracked on the club's squad page.
What was Osasuna's form ahead of the match?
The team managed by Jagoba Arrasate arrived at the Getafe clash following a positive start to the season. They had secured their first three points with an away win in Vigo. Those results placed Osasuna eighth in LaLiga, with four points, two goals scored, and just one conceded. The team was five points behind the leaders, Real Madrid, before kick-off at El Sadar. This context of early defensive solidity provided a suitable backdrop for the potential integration of a young defender like Yeboah.
Who else was named in the squad?
The squad list for the match against the Madrid-based side contained 24 players. Goalkeepers Sergio Herrera, Aitor Fernández, and Rafa Fernández were called up. The defensive unit included names like Juan Cruz, Nacho Vidal, Rubén Peña, Jorge Herrando, José Manuel Arnáiz, Alejandro Catena, Pablo Ibáñez, and Rockson Yeboah himself. In midfield, the list featured Lucas Torró, Jon Moncayola, Iker Muñoz, Aimar Oroz, Rubén García, Moi Gómez, and Pablo Fornals. For the attack, Arrasate could count on Ante Budimir, Raúl García de Haro, Kike Barja, José Arnáiz, Ezequiel Ávila, and youth goalkeeper Asier Bonel. The most notable absence was French full-back Valentin Rosier, who is currently sidelined, with updates available on our injuries page.
What does this mean going forward?
Yeboah's first call-up represents an opportunity for the player to gain rhythm and fully integrate into the first-team group. With the team showing stable performance at the start of the 2026/27 season, any addition from the academy or players in the adaptation process strengthens the squad for the long campaign ahead. Osasuna's next fixture is a trip to Mendizorrotza to face Alaves, who sit third in the table. Fans can check the details of this and all matches on our fixtures calendar.
