Atletico Madrid have reportedly made a late change to their starting XI for Juventus, moving midfielder Saul Niguez to left-back.

Right-back Santiago Arias was expected to fill in for the injured Filipe Luis and Lucas Hernandez, but Sky Sport Italia reports Saul will cover instead.

It would not be the first time that the Spaniard has played in defence, having done so in several Atleti games towards the end of last year.

Replacing him on the right wing should be Vitolo, who is a natural fit for the position.

Juventus (probable): Szczesny; Cancelo, Bonucci, Chiellini, Spinazzola; Emre Can, Pjanic, Matuidi; Bernardeschi, Mandzukic, Ronaldo

Atletico Madrid (probable): Oblak; Juanfran, Gimenez, Godin, Juanfran; Vitolo, Rodri, Koke, Lemar; Griezmann; Morata
