Osasuna team news
Osasuna must navigate a significant challenge at the back following the suspension of starting goalkeeper Sergio Herrera, who was sent off in their previous match against Levante.
In his absence, Aitor FernĂĄndez is expected to step into the starting lineup. On the injury front, the team remains without winger VĂctor Muñoz, who continues to recover from a calf issue sustained in late April.
Despite these setbacks, the defensive core remains relatively stable, with Alejandro Catena and anchoring the centre-back positions.

Atletico Madrid enters this fixture facing a severe availability crisis. JuliĂĄn Ălvarez is expected to miss out after suffering an ankle injury in European competition.
The midfield is also thin; Johnny Cardoso is out for the remainder of the season, while Pablo Barrios and Ălex Baenaâthe latter due to a yellow card suspensionâare both unavailable.
Consequently, the burden of leadership falls heavily on Antoine Griezmann and Koke to maintain the teamâs top-four momentum.
Diego Simeone is most likely to start Alexander Sorloth up front in the attack while Clement Lenglet is set to start in defence.
Form
Osasuna
Osasuna sits 11th in the table with 42 points from 35 matches, having shown mixed results in their recent outings. They recently secured a solid 2â1 victory against Sevilla, but this was followed by a disappointing 1â2 defeat to league-leaders Barcelona and a frustrating 3â2 loss to Levante, where they conceded a 90th-minute winner.
Atletico Madrid
After their recent UCL semi-final exit against Arsenal (0-1) during the midweek, where they failed to find an answer to Arsenalâs defence even after stepping up a gear in the second half, Atletico once again failed to find the back of the net against Celta Vigo which resulted in another 0-1 loss.
FotMob shows Atleticoâs xG as 2.18, compared to Celta Vigoâs 0.13. Although Atletico already qualified for next seasonâs UEFA Champions League due to Spain having an extra spot in the competition, Atletico will still want to bounce back and look to secure all the remaining points and end the season on a high.
