Real Madrid midfielder Sneijder suffered a knee ligament injury in pre-season and came on as a substitute in Saturday's 2-0 win over Iceland but is hoping for a starting berth in Oslo on Wednesday.

"I am fit, I have recovered," he told De Telegraaf.

"Everything works as it should. I would have liked to play 90 minutes against Iceland instead of 10.

"It is true the agreement with Real Madrid says we will try to win both qualifiers without taking risks, but I am ready (to start)."

Van Persie admitted he has been more cautious on his return from a hamstring injury, but said claims in the media he is injury-prone do not concern him.

"After my previous injury, I made the mistake at Arsenal of kicking the ball with all my force in my first training session," he told AD Sportwereld.

"I will not make that mistake again. But I do feel very good. I trained hard the last couple of days and all the tests were positive.

"I have been injured a lot lately but whatever the outside world says is not important to me.

"I just want to be fit and play as many games as I can. The entire pre-season went well at Arsenal and in the league too. Picking up a hamstring injury can happen to any player at the moment."

Holland have maximum points from their opening two fixtures and sit at the top of Group Nine, two points ahead of Scotland, who drew 0-0 with Norway on Saturday.

The Scandinavians, who have two points, have yet to lose in qualifying but they are also still waiting for their first win and coach Aage Hareide wants that to change in Oslo.

"We have to be aggressive in defence so they can't produce shots from good positions," he said.

"And in attack, I think we can show how to make things tricky for Holland with two strong strikers such as John Carew and Steffen Iversen.

"If Holland have an Achilles heel, we'll find it. For example, I think they'll be concerned about long passes and dead-ball situations.

"Holland at home is no greater a challenge than Scotland away. Macedonia, for example, managed to cause them trouble.

"But we still can't afford to make mistakes. We have to drill it into the players' heads that only three points will do."
