CB: Aurelien Tchouameni – The Frenchman is a fresh injury concern heading into the final, but there is hope that Tchouameni will be fit to start. He has looked calm since dropping into Madrid's back line.
CB: Antonio Rudiger – David Alaba returned to the matchday squad on Thursday and the Austrian could still have a big role to play this season. However, the classy left-back will not replace Rudiger on Sunday.
