- Tiago is suspended for the Europa League final after receiving a straight red card in the semi-final second leg tie against Valencia. Mario Suarez should play alongside Gabi in defensive midfield.
- Antonio Lopez has been out for much of the season through injury, but is back in training once again. However, he is unlikely to feature here, though.
- Silvio remains absent, and Fran Merida is cup-tied.
- Diego Simeone did not rest any of his key players for the win over Malaga at the weekend as he chases fourth place in the league, so his players will only have had a few days rest before the Europa League final.
- Fernando Amorebieta faces a late fitness test after missing the draw with Getafe at the weekend, but he is expected to be make it back.
- Javi Martinez will return to the lineup after missing Saturday's match due to suspension.
- Llorente and Muniain are amongst those who were rested by Marcelo Bielsa and will return to the starting XI for this game.
- With this game in mind, Bielsa made wholesale changes to his team at the weekend, but will recall all his biggest names as he seeks a trophy in the first of two cup finals this season.
I know a game means little when www.whoscored.com doesn't keep stats on it. I'm talking about 1) FA Cup Final (http://www.whoscored.com/Matches/593771/Live) 2) Carling Cup (http://www.whoscored.com/Matches/580460/Live) 2) Europa League final (Current)
Very tough to call, should be a great game!
