Osasuna vs Real Madrid Team News, Injuries & Predicted Lineups
Osasuna head into Saturday’s La Liga encounter in relatively strong condition despite a couple of injury setbacks. The hosts will be without Iker Benito, who continues his recovery from a knee problem, while Enzo Boyomo is also unavailable due to a muscle injury.
Aside from those absentees, head coach Alessio Lisci has the majority of his squad available and could make only a minor adjustment to the side that faced Elche last time out. Midfielder Jon Moncayola is pushing for a recall and may replace Iker Munoz in the starting XI as Osasuna look to add more balance and energy in central areas.
Leading the line once again will be experienced striker Ante Budimir, who has enjoyed an impressive 2025-26 campaign. The Croatian forward has already scored 11 goals in 23 league appearances this season and remains Osasuna’s primary attacking threat. His physical presence and finishing ability will be crucial if the home side are to trouble Real Madrid’s defence.
Real Madrid Team News
Real Madrid arrive with several notable injury concerns ahead of the trip. Defensive stalwart Eder Militao remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, while midfield talisman Jude Bellingham is also unavailable after suffering a similar issue.
There is additional uncertainty surrounding Rodrygo, who will undergo a late fitness assessment after picking up a hamstring problem. His availability could significantly influence Carlo Ancelotti’s attacking setup.
At the back, Raul Asencio is expected to return to domestic action after missing the Champions League clash against Benfica through suspension. The centre-back is likely to replace Dean Huijsen, who is ruled out with a calf injury.
That defensive switch could represent the only change from Madrid’s European outing, as Ancelotti may opt to keep continuity in the rest of the lineup. Young playmaker Arda Guler is again in contention to operate in the No.10 role, supporting superstar forwards Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior in attack.
