Claudio Ranieri has admitted that he is considering dropping Wesley Sneijder from his starting lineup for Inter Milan's Champions League encounter with Marseille on Wednesday.

Ranieri feels that he will not be able to accommodate the Dutch international if he decides to play with two strikers against his side's French opponents.

"I will have to make a choice here. We can not afford to play with Sneijder and two attackers, because we then miss someone in midfield," Ranieri told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"Sneijder is not a problem for Inter though, but a solution instead. We will have to use him at the right moment. We can pick ourselves up again in the match against Marseille."

Sneijder has recently been linked with moves to Manchester United and a host of Russian clubs.
