Team News: Diego Costa out for Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid are without Diego Costa for tonight's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid will be without leading scorer Diego Costa for tonight's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Barcelona.

The Spanish international has been an injury doubt all week and has not made the XI for the La Liga leaders.

Arda Turan is also absent, meaning that Adrian Lopez and David Villa come into the attack.

The remainder of the team is as expected, however, with Raul Garcia also returning from a European suspension.

For Barcelona, there are recalls to the XI for Jordi Alba, Cesc Fabregas and Neymar. Lionel Messi also starts, but Pedro and Alexis Sanchez are both on the bench.

The two sides are currently level at 1-1 from the first leg last week.

Atletico: Courtois; Juanfran, Godin, Miranda, Luis; Tiago, Gabi, Koke; Garcia, Adrian, Villa
