Real Madrid vs. Atlético Madrid Referee: Bjorn Kuipers (Netherlands)
All times are in Eastern Standard Time
Real Madrid will be without midfielder Xabi Alonso through suspension
after the former Liverpool man was booked in the semi-final second leg
against Bayern Munich.
Cristiano Ronaldo is fit to feature despite a recent thigh injury, with
Gareth Bale also available despite sitting out training earlier in the
week.
Karim Benzema could miss out due to a muscle problem but Ancelotti has
confirmed that Sami Khedira is available after a recent knee injury,
while Pepe (calf) has missed the last two games.
Atletico are sweating over the fitness of star striker Diego Costa after
he limped out of the clash with Barcelona last weekend with a hamstring
injury.
Midfielder Arda Turan sustained a groin problem in the same game, with
Simeone giving both men every opportunity to prove their fitness ahead
of the final.
Gabi is available again after sitting out the second leg of the
semi-final victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge through suspension.
Expected Line-up:
Real Madrid: Casillas; Carvajal, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo; Di Maria, Illarramendi, Modric; Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo.
BENCH: Diego López, Pepe, Marcelo, Arbeloa, Morata, Isco, Illarra.
Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo have recovered from their injuries
and will be fit for Saturday, while Pepe and Karim Benzema remain slight
doubts, but are likely to be featured.
Xabi Alonso will miss out due to suspension.
Atletico Madrid: Courtois, Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Filipe Luis, Raul Garcia, Gabi, Tiago, Koke, Villa, Diego Costa.
BENCH: Aranzubia, Mario Suarez, Adrian, Rodriguez, Alderweireld, Diego, Sosa.
Atletico confirmed that Arda Turan and Diego Costa will be included in the squad, as both have returned to training on Thursday.
Costa, who went to see ‘placenta doctor’ Marijana Kovacevic in a bid
to be match fit, is likely to start on the bench, while Turan is tipped
to be fit enough for a starting berth.
