Osasuna will resume their 2022-23 campaign on Wednesday against Arnedo at the Estadio Sendero in the second round of the Copa Del Rey, looking to continue from where they ended last month.
Los Rojillos headed into the midseason break off a thumping 4-1 win over Fuentes in the first round of the cup, courtesy of goals from Darko Brasanac, Ignacio Miralles and a double from Kike Garcia.
Since then, the Pamplona outfit have played three friendlies, drawing 1-1 against Lorient and Girona either side of a 3-0 win over Brest.
Arnedo, meanwhile, ply their trade in the fourth division of Spanish football and beat Atletico Baleares 4-3 on penalties at home in the first round of the cup.
Javi Arpon cancelled out Uzochukwu Adighibe's opener for Atletico in the 74th minute. Arnedo were heading out of the competition after Jorge Chacon and Alex Maestresalas had missed their attempts from the spot.
However, misses late on from Baleares, coupled with another from Alfonso Martin in their opening kick, allowed Arnedo to progress into the second round.
