Jackson Martinez has been given the nod to replace Fernando Torres up front for Atletico Madrid in their Champions League group opener at Galatasaray.

Despite Torres's goal in the 2-1 defeat to Barcelona in La Liga on Saturday, it is the Colombian who has been preferred by Diego Simeone to partner Antoine Griezmann in attack in Turkey tonight.

That is one of four changes for the Spanish side, with Guilherme Siqueira also coming in for Felipe Luis in defence after the former Chelsea man aggravated his knee injury in the defeat to Barca.

Saul Niguez has been chosen ahead of Gabi in the midfield, while Luciano Vietto will join Martinez and Griezmann in the attack in place of Oliver Torres.

Meanwhile, the hosts will again partner Burak Yilmaz with Lukas Podolski up front as they look to improve upon their bottom-of-the-group finish in last year's competition.
