Team News: Alvaro Morata, Luciano Vietto start as Real Madrid face Sevilla in Super Cup final

Morata, Vietto start in Super Cup

Alvaro Morata has been given a starting spot by Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, while summer signing Luciano Vieto leads the line for Sevilla in tonight's Super Cup final in Norway.

Real are without a number of big-name stars, including Gareth Bale, who has been given an extended break after guiding Wales to the semi-finals of Euro 2016.

Cristiano Ronaldo is also absent as he continues to recover from a knee injury that forced him off the pitch during Portugal's triumph in the final of the European Championships.

Toni Kroos and Pepe have also been ruled out of the match, but Kiko Casilla, Dani Carvajal, Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane, Marcelo, Casemiro and Isco are among the starters.

Meanwhile, Jorge Sampaoli has selected summer signing Vietto to provide the main attacking threat, but Wissam Ben Yedder, who was linked to Arsenal, misses out on a starting place.

Real Madrid: Casilla; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; Casemiro, Kovacic; Isco, Asensio, Vazquez; Morata

Sevilla: Rico; Mariano, Pareja, Carrico, Kolo; Iborra, N'Zonzi; Vitolo, Franco Vazquez, Kiyotake; Vietto
