Southampton handed Osvaldo a two-week suspension last Thursday in response to an "incident at the club's training ground".
Fonte was widely reported to have been the victim of a physical attack from the striker, yet the defender was able to put the controversy behind him by scoring in Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Premier League leaders Arsenal.
