Athletic Club vs Osasuna: La Liga Match Preview

Athletic Club host Osasuna at Estadio de San Mamés in Bilbao on 21 April 2026, in La Liga Regular Season - 33. Athletic Club enter the round 11th in the table with 38 points and a goal difference of -12, while Osasuna sit 9th on 39 points with a goal difference of -1.

Athletic Club Availability

Athletic Club have one confirmed absentee. B. Prados Diaz (Knee Injury) is sidelined. No suspensions are reported for the hosts, so the rest of Ernesto Valverde’s squad is expected to be available pending late fitness checks.

Osasuna Availability

Osasuna face a heavier list of absences. I. Benito (Knee Injury) is sidelined. A. Catena (Yellow Cards) is sidelined due to suspension. A. Osambela (Red Card) is sidelined and will also miss out through suspension. Key attacking figures such as A. Budimir and Rubén García are not listed among the absentees and are therefore expected to be available.

Impact Summary

Athletic Club lose depth in midfield with B. Prados Diaz out, but their main attacking options remain intact. Osasuna, however, must cope without winger I. Benito and two defensive midfield/defensive options in Catena and Osambela, reducing their flexibility without directly removing their leading scorer A. Budimir (16 goals) or chief creator Rubén García (5 assists). This keeps Osasuna’s primary attacking output on the pitch despite notable structural absences.
