Sports Mole looks at how Atletico Madrid could line up in Tuesday's Copa del Rey semi-final first leg against Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone has a number of big decisions to make when it comes to his starting side for Tuesday's Copa del Rey semi-final first leg against Barcelona.

Juan Musso has been Atletico's starting goalkeeper in the cup competition this season, and he is expected to get the nod for this match despite Jan Oblak being one of the leading stoppers in world football.

Pablo Barrios was suspended for Atletico's La Liga clash with Valencia on Saturday, but the midfielder is available for this match and is set to be introduced into the side.

Atletico's squad is in excellent shape at a vital stage of the season, with Koke their only injury doubt, and it remains to be seen whether the experienced midfielder can overcome a muscular issue in time to be involved.

Julian Alvarez struck a brace against Valencia last time out and will continue in the final third of the field alongside Antoine Griezmann, with Alexander Sorloth likely to start on the bench once again.

There will be changes from the side that started on Saturday, though, with Javi Galan and Jose Gimenez likely to be introduced into the defensive unit.

Conor Gallagher's energy and work-rate will certainly put him firmly in the thinking of Simeone, but it is expected that Samuel Lino will feature down the left for the Red and Whites.

Atletico Madrid possible starting lineup: Musso; Molina, Gimenez, Le Normand, Galan; Simeone, De Paul, Barrios, Lino; Griezmann, Alvarez
