Inter Milan's Sneijder: Mourinho wants me to face Scotland

Wesley Sneijder has settled Inter Milan nerves by declaring himself fit for Holland ahead of tonight's World Cup qualifier against Scotland.

There was panic when the Dutchman was stretchered off in agony during Saturday's 3-0 friendly win over Japan. But scans revealed only an ankle sprain.

"I feel no pain and think I will be ready to face Scotland," insisted Sneijder.

"I already talked it over with [Jose] Mourinho and he too thinks it is important that I play to improve my form.

"Therefore, if I am in good shape, I will play in Glasgow."
