Liverpool are now a best price 10/1 for the Europa League after their 0-0 draw with Utrecht

Inter playmaker Wesley Sneijder is likely to miss the Club World Cup final on Saturday due to injury.

Inter face Mazembe, from the Democratic Republic of Congo, in the final after the Italians defeated Seongnam Ilhwa 3-0 in their semi-final in Abu Dhabi.

However, victory came at a cost after the Dutch international, who is seeking to win his fifth trophy in 2010, sustained a thigh injury and was substituted after just two minutes of the contest.

Inter coach Rafa Benitez was pleased with the performance following the early loss of Sneijder.

“It was not easy at the beginning, it was difficult for us to lose Sneijder early on in the game. We had to readjust,” Benitez said.

“I think he has a muscular strain and it’s almost certain he won’t be there for the final.”

Meanwhile, Inter president Massimo Moratti has again given his backing to under-fire head coach Benitez.

He told Mediaset: “He (Benitez) prepared for the game in a good way. I was pleased by the concentration shown by the players.”
