Louis van Gaal expects Wesley Sneijder absence

Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal has revealed that Wesley Sneijder is likely to miss Tuesday's World Cup qualifier against Romania with a groin injury.

The Galatasaray midfielder was forced off in the first half of Friday's 3-0 victory over Estonia in Amsterdam.

"We have to wait and see," Van Gaal is quoted as saying by Goal.com. "We must look at the reaction of his groin tomorrow and the day after.

"If you ask for a substitution after half an hour, I don't think you've got a big chance to play on Tuesday."

Rafael van der Vaart, Robin van Persie and Ruben Schaken were on target at the Amsterdam ArenA on Friday as the Dutch maintained their 100% record in Group D.
