Atletico Madrid are expected to be without Jose Gimenez for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final with Manchester City.
The Uruguayan defender missed the 1-0 first-leg defeat at the Etihad Stadium due to a calf injury and was also absent for the weekend's loss to Mallorca in a major blow to Diego Simeone's semi-final hopes.
MLS-bound midfielder Hector Herrera is also absent for the La Liga champions, who will be able to welcome Yannick Carrasco back from a European ban served in the first leg.
With Gimenez still working on the sidelines, Felipe should get the nod to join Reinildo and former Man City defender Stefan Savic in front of Jan Oblak at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Sime Vrsaljko and Renan Lodi were both brought off the bench at the weekend and could now provide some fresh legs out wide, with Carrasco potentially dropping out of the XI.
The need for goals could lead Simeone to make the bold call to drop Geoffrey Kondogbia in favour of the attack-minded Thomas Lemar, as Koke and Marcos Llorente aim to hold their places.
Luis Suarez was given the nod alongside Antoine Griezmann at the weekend, but neither man lasted longer than 62 minutes, and Simeone is expected to bring Joao Felix back into the XI for the second leg.
Atletico Madrid possible starting lineup: Oblak; Savic, Felipe, Reinildo; Vrsaljko, Llorente, Koke, Lemar, Lodi; Griezmann, Felix
