Team News: Javier Hernandez up front for injury-hit Real Madrid

Javier Hernandez starts for Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has been forced to make four changes for tonight's Champions League quarter-final second leg at home to Atletico Madrid.

Los Blancos are currently struggling with a host of injuries, with the likes of Luka Modric, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema all sidelined. Meanwhile, Brazilian full-back Marcelo is suspended.

Javier Hernandez, Dani Carvajal, Fabio Coentrao and Raphael Varane all come into the starting XI following Saturday's 3-1 win over Malaga in La Liga.

Atletico coach Diego Simeone has made three changes to his side after seeing them earn a 2-1 victory away to Deportivo La Coruna on the weekend as Miranda, Diego Godin and Mario Mandzukic return.

Real: Casillas; Carvajal, Varane, Pepe, Coentrao; Ramos, Kroos, James, Isco; Ronaldo, Hernandez
Subs: Navas, Khedira, Lucas Silva, Arbeloa, Nacho, Jese, Illarramendi
