In their place, boss Diego Simeone has picked Jose Gimenez, Saul and Kevin Gameiro to start the match at the BayArena.

Goalkeeper Jan Oblak is back in training from a dislocated shoulder but he has to make do with a place on the bench as Miguel Moya continues between the sticks.

Leverkusen manager Roger Schmidt, meanwhile, has made two changes from the weekend's 3-1 win at Augsburg, with Charles Aranguiz starting in place of the injured Lars Bender and Omer Toprak drafted in place of the benched Tin Jedvaj.
