Sergio Ramos will line up in midfield for Real Madrid in their Champions League quarter-final second leg with Atletico.
With Luka Modrid ruled out after picking up a knee injury in Saturday's win over Malaga, Carlo Ancelotti has been short of midfield options.
However, the Italian made the unexpected decision to use the defender in the centre of the field, alongside Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez for the crunch clash as the two sides battle it out for a place in the final four.
Madrid have fallen victim to an injury crisis heading into Wednesday's meeting with Atletico, with Modrid, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale all missing due to injury, while Marcelo is absent due to suspension.
The absences have forced Ancelotti to do some swapping around and use Ramos in midfield, with Javier Hernandez starting alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Isco in attack.
