"I don't think we'll change the system much, but there will be rotations. We have almost everyone available," Real head coach Zinedine Zidane said, according to Efe.

Zidane also revealed who will guard the goal on Wednesday. "(Kiko) Casilla will play tomorrow. The idea is that he'll play in the Cup, but I cannot say what will happen in the future. What happens from day to day will dictate what we will do," he said.
