Adrian has been named in the Atletico Madrid starting XI to play Chelsea in the Champions League semi-finals second-leg.
Diego Simeone has left Raul Garcia, Diego Ribas and David Villa on the bench. It’s expected Koke and Arda Turan will fill the wide spots with Adrian supporting Diego Costa.
Adrian played the first hour of the previous round’s game against Barcelona at Vicente Calderon.
Former Chelsea midfielder Tiago forms the double pivot with Mario Suarez, the Portuguese having followed Jose Mourinho to Stamford Bridge on 2004. He spent only one season at the club, leaving for Lyon before coming to Atleti in 2009.
Chelsea have Eden Hazard fit to start in the Belgian’s first appearance since the Blues’ 2-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the last round at the beginning of April.
Mourinho has named a team containing six defenders and it looks as if David Luiz and Cesar Azpilicueta will both start in midfield.
Azpilicueta had been used at left-back but the presence of Ashley Cole in the side suggests a positional change for the Spain international.
Branislav Ivanovic, John Terry and Gary Cahill all start, which would mean either Chelsea go with a back five with Azpi at right-back or the former Marseille man moves into midfield.
Fernando Torres is also named, as are Willian and Ramires. Mark Schwarzer continues in goal in place of the injured Petr Cech.
The game is goalless from the first-leg and the winners will play Real Madrid in the Champions League final on May 24 in Lisbon.
Chelsea: Schwarzer; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole; Azpilicueta, Ramires, David Luiz, Hazard, Willian; Torres
Atletico: Courtois; Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Filipe Luis; Koke, Mario Suarez, Tiago, Arda; Adrian, Diego Costa
