Costa and Arda to start?

Diego Costa and Arda Turan are both expected to start the Champions League final for Atletico Madrid, according to reports in Spain.

The pair have been major doubts for Atleti in the build-up to the Lisbon fixture against Real Madrid but Marca says they took a full part in training on Friday night and are likely to be included.

Coach Diego Simeone will have the final decision but after Costa was able to complete a number of sprints and train in the same manner as his teammates, the Spain international is in contention.

Turan is still said to be suffering some discomfort from his pelvic injury but will take to the field regardless.

Both players were forced off early in the title-winning draw against Barcelona a week ago, Costa suffering a hamstring injury at Camp Nou.
