Andrea Stramaccioni open to Wesley Sneijder return

Inter Milan coach Andrea Stramaccioni has said that he is ready to recall playmaker Wesley Sneijder to his team in the New Year.

The Netherlands international has been out of the Nerazzurri first team since September because of a dispute over his contract.

"As far as Sneijder is concerned, he knows that when a player gives his all, I give him mine in return," the Italian told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "Otherwise, he stays out.

"If I were a player, I would try to think about what my manager was thinking. I'm sure that Wesley can make me change my mind and, if he does, the shirt is waiting for him."

Sneijder joined Inter from Real Madrid in 2009.
