Having drawn their first two games against Barcelona and Rubin Kazan, there is a sense of urgency for points.


However, the coach is ice-cool and feels the game against Dynamo will not drastically influence Inter's hopes of qualifying for the next round.

"This isn't a decisive game there are still four games to go and 12 points up for grabs. It's an important game as it could mean calm or pressure," Mourinho said.

"We have two points. A team with 11 or 12 can qualify. It will be difficult for us, but not easy for Dynamo."

True to form, the 'Special One' did not give away his formation, but he did raise doubts over the appearance of some key players. "Samuel Eto'o or Esteban Cambiasso? I don't know. I don't think they will train with the group, but we will see if it's possible or not," he continued. "Diego Milito may have a chance, but we will see tomorrow. I don't want to risk players. Thiago Motta will not be there, but he should be back for Catania."
