Frontman Oyarzabal is for his part fresh off a thoroughly productive campaign in San Sebastian in 2024/25.
Despite Sociedad's collective struggles, the 28-year-old racked up 26 direct goal contributions in 53 appearances across all competitions.
As much culminated in a call up to Spain's latest squad for the Nations League in June, a decision which entitled Oyarzabal to an extended summer holiday through July 14th.
As alluded to above, though, reiterating his commitment to the cause at Anoeta, the versatile attacker was back in the thick of things a full six days early on Tuesday morning.
As per a report from MD, Oyarzabal was put through an individualised training session at Zubieta, ahead of linking back up with his teammates over the days ahead.

How to watch Real Madrid vs Osasuna live, stream link and start time Kick off time: 3pm ET Tuesday (August 19)Venue: Santiago Bernabeu -- MadridTV Channel/Streaming: ESPN+ Real Madrid vs Osasuna live updates - by Andy Edwards Real Madrid vs Osasuna live score: 0-0 Goalscorers: None Real Madrid starting lineup Courtois - Alexander-Arnold, Militao, Huijsen, Carreras - Tchouameni, Valverde, Guler - Diaz, Vinicius, Mbappe Osasuna starting lineup Herrera - Boyomo, Catena, Cruz - Rosier, Moncayola, Torro, Bretones - Garcia, Oroz, Budimir Of course, he knows the famous stadium extremely well as a key player for Real over many years as he was instrumental in UEFA Champions League and La Liga title wins. But this is different. Real have to make a big step forward this season to catch up with reigning La Liga champions, and bitter rivals, Barcelona. The Club World Cup was ultimately a disappointment this summer as Real were knocked out at the semifinal stage by eventual champs PSG, with Kylian Mbappe missing several games due to a stomach issue. But he's back and Real have new signings Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen, Franco Mastantuono and Alvaro Carreras, while young striker Gonzalo Garcia continues to make a name for himself. Osasuna will be dangerous and punched well above their weight last season as they finished ninth and narrowly missed out on European qualification. Real Madrid team news, focus Both Alexander-Arnold and Huijsen are set to make their La Liga debuts for Real Madrid and this is a big moment for them to show they've settled in following the Club World Cup. Alonso's preferred style of play is still a work in progress, while it will be intriguing to see how Vinicius and Mbappe perform in attack as they aim to start the season off right. Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Ferland Mendy and Endrick continue to recovery from injury. Osasuna team news, focus Since being promoted to La Liga in 2019, Osasuna have been so consistent with six-straight finishes inside the top 11 and they were Copa del Rey runners up in 2023. Croatian striker Ante Budimir is their star as he scored 21 goals in La Liga last season and the veteran leads the line superbly. Real Madrid vs Osasuna prediction This will probably be uncomfortable at times for Real Madrid but they should get the job done. Real Madrid 3-1 Osasuna.
