Key players to watch out for in Valencia vs Osasuna
Giorgi Mamardashvili (Valencia)
The Georgian keeper was signed by Liverpool to replace Alisson and has been loaned back to Valencia for the season. This shows the calibre of players being spoken of here. Mamardashvili is not only a great shot-stopper, he has been a match-winner a number of times for Los Che.
Bryan Zaragoza (Osasuna)
Bryan Zaragoza has endured an interesting few months. After breaking through with Granada, the winger was signed by Bayern Munich. There he failed to settle in, at all, and has now been sent back on loan to Spain with Osasuna. He is a very dangerous 1v1 dribbler on the wings.
