Torres has been competing with Kevin Gameiro for a starting spot but Diego Simeone has gone with the more experienced man for this match, with Atleti trying to come back from three goals down.
Elsewhere Jose Gimenez plays at right-back due to injuries in that position.
Gareth Bale is still out injured so Isco gets the nod over James Rodriguez, Lucas Vazquez and Marco Asensio to start in his stead.
With Carvajal missing through injury Danilo comes into the team at right-back.
Teams in full:
Atletico Madrid - Oblak; Gimenez, Godin, Savic, Filipe; Gabi, Saul, Koke, Carrasco; Griezmann, Torres
Real Madrid - Navas; Danilo, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo; Casemiro, Modric, Kroos, Isco; Benzema, Ronaldo
