Wesley Sneijder picks up injury in warm-up for third-place playoff

Wesley Sneijder picks up a hamstring injury in the warm-up for the Netherlands' World Cup third-place playoff against Brazil tonight.

The Netherlands have been forced into a late change to their starting lineup for tonight's World Cup third-place playoff in Brasilia.

Wesley Sneijder has picked up a hamstring injury during the warm-up for his side's match against hosts Brazil, and will be unable to start.

As a result, Jonathan de Guzman has been drafted into the lineup for Louis van Gaal's side as they look to bounce back from their penalty shootout defeat to Argentina in the semi-finals.

Brazil, meanwhile, will be trying to restore some sort of pride following their 7-1 hammering at the hands of Germany in the last four.
