Osasuna star ruled out of Sevilla clash

La Liga outfit Osasuna will be forced to make do without the contributions of Ante Budimir in their final outing before the November international break.

This comes owing to an injury setback suffered by the Croatian.

Budimir was in from the off earlier this week, as Osasuna made the trip to Real Oviedo for a La Liga clash.

En route to an eventual goalless stalemate, though, the 34-year-old was hooked from proceedings late on, owing to a fitness concern.

Budimir was in turn put through a round of medical tests on Thursday morning.

And according to Marca, as much have since revealed an injury to the calf muscule in the experienced attacker’s left leg.

Budimir, as a result, will play no part when Osasuna lock horns with Sevilla this coming weekend.

The hope is that the Croatian international will be back available for selection on the far side of the upcoming international break.
