Report: Adrian Lopez to lead Atletico Madrid line

Adrian Lopez is expected to lead the line for Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final tie against Real Madrid on Tuesday.

Atletico enter the match trailing 3-0 from the first leg last week, while they will be without a number of their first-team regulars for the clash at the Calderon.

Leading scorer Diego Costa is suspended after picking up a yellow card at the Bernabeu last week, while David Villa and Filipe Luis will miss out through injury.

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is also not in the squad after suffering a back injury, meaning that second-choice shot-stopper Dani Aranzubia, who was sent off in the 2-0 defeat to Almeria at the weekend, will start between the sticks.

Atletico Madrid B striker Ruben Mesa is one of just two forwards named in Diego Simeone's squad.
