Espanyol squad for El Sadar clash vs Osasuna
Manolo González has named the Espanyol squad for this Saturday’s trip to Pamplona to face Osasuna.
Espanyol travel to El Sadar to take on Osasuna this Saturday, kicking off a demanding stretch of three matches in just six days. As reported by Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan side boarded for Pamplona early, but Manolo González’s official squad was released beforehand.
No surprises in the call-up
Per Mundo Deportivo, there were no major surprises in the selection. González included all available players except those sidelined by injury: Javi Puado and Kike García. In addition, Gorosabel remains unavailable due to being short on match fitness after an unusual pre-season.
Ahead of the game, Manolo González also set the tone with a clear message about roles: “Vamos a intentar que ninguno se sienta titular; ni Cubarsí ni Militao lo son…”. It suggests he wants a competitive approach rather than committing to a single fixed starting lineup.
Full Espanyol list
The Espanyol squad is:
- Dmitrovic, Fortuño, Llorenç
- Hartmann, Riedel, Cabrera, Unai Núñez, Drkusic, Omar, Hinojo, José Ángel
- Urko, Edu Expósito, Pol Lozano, Moscardo, Bauza, Javi Hernández
- Roberto, Pere Milla, Bryan Zaragoza, Jofre, Marcos Fernández, Calatrava, Dolan
With this group, Espanyol aim to get back to winning ways and ease the doubts that have started to show up in their performances, as Mundo Deportivo highlights.
