Line-ups: Astana-Atletico

Fernando Torres starts for Atletico Madrid against Astana in Kazakhstan as Diego Simeone makes three changes from Friday’s draw at Deportivo La Coruna.

Torres replaces Jackson Martinez while Saul Niguez comes in for Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco and Guilherme Siqueira gets a run-out at left-back in place of Filipe Luis.

That means Jan Oblak continues in goal behind a back four comprising Juanfran, Diego Godin, Jose Gimenez and Siqueira.

Koke, Gabi, Tiago Mendes and Saul will make up the midfield and Antoine Griezmann supports Torres, who is looking for his 100th goal for the club.
