Osasuna welcome La Liga whipping boys Huesca to the Estadio El Sadar in Pamplona in round 10 of the 2020-21 La Liga season.
The visitors from Aragon are rock bottom of the table, without a win this season; while Osasuna have 10 points from eight games, leaving them in 13th place.
Two losses prior to the international break tempered the optimism surrounding Osasuna, but those came against tough opposition. They first lost to Atletico Madrid at home, a 3-1 loss that was closer than the scoreline suggested.
A narrow 1-0 loss away to Sevilla followed, leaving Los Rojillos manager Jagoba Arrasate with plenty to ponder in the international break.

Osasuna
Jagoba Arrasante has a lengthy injury list to deal with. Strikers Jonathan Calleri and Chimy Avila are still recuperating on the sidelines, along with keeper Juan Perez, centre-back Aridane Hernandez and midfielders Lucas Torro and Darko Brasanac.
Midfielder Jon Moncayola and striker Ante Budimir are still carrying out international commitments, which may see them given a rest. Inigo Perez is likely to join captain Oier in the middle of the park. Adrian Lopez should replace Budimir alongside Enric Gallego up-front.
