The forward has recovered from the posterior tibia tendinitis and the manager will be able to count on him for the match against CA Osasuna.

Velázquez gave no clues about the starting eleven for Sunday's match at midday at the El Sadar Stadium, but a lot of importance was given to working with possession of the ball and transitions form defence to attack in today's session. The whole session was aimed at increasing the players' competence with diverse exercises on possession of the ball in different dimensions. The coaching staff manly focused on these issues with variations in the exercises with the number of times the players had to touch the ball. Similarly, there were high intensity training matches on different sized pitches, which made for a long session. Julio Velázquez gave more instructions to his players in this part of the session. Finally, there was a mini tournament with the squad divided in to four teams bringing to a close the second training session in preparation for the tie with the team from Pamplona.
