Osasuna have confirmed via a medical bulletin the injury to Aitor Fernández. The goalkeeper has a muscle problem in the inner calf of his right leg, so his progress will be monitored before he is available again.

The Navarre club have not given an estimated recovery time. As such, any timeframe should be taken as a guide rather than an official confirmation. With this type of injury, the absence could stretch over the coming weeks, always depending on the player's response during the recovery process.

Opportunity for Sergio Herrera

The injury comes amid a rotation in the Osasuna goal. Aitor Fernández had started last weekend against Athletic Club, but his absence forces the coaching staff to alter their short-term plans.

With that in mind, Sergio Herrera is in contention to take over in the Osasuna goal in the coming fixtures. If Aitor remains sidelined, the Burgos-born keeper could keep his place while his team-mate recovers.

In Fantasy, the situation makes Sergio Herrera a name to keep an eye on over the next few matchdays, especially in leagues where he may be available or carry a manageable price tag. By contrast, with Aitor Fernández it is best to wait for further medical updates before making any final decisions.
