Van der vaart setback for spurs

21 February 2011 12:00
Rafael van der Vaart has aggravated his calf injury in training but should be fit to return to action in 10 days' time, Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has revealed. The former Real Madrid man played an hour of Tottenham's 1-0 win against AC Milan last Tuesday after picking up the injury in the club's 2-1 win at Bolton on February 5. Redknapp confirmed that his star forward suffered a recurrence of the problem in training on Sunday. But Redknapp is confident that the Dutchman will be back to full fitness for Tottenham's game at Wolves on March 6 and the club's crucial Champions League clash with AC Milan three days later. Redknapp said: "Rafa did his calf again in training so he's struggling (for Tuesday's game). "He missed a couple of games, played in Milan, got through 70 minutes and then Sunday morning didn't feel good. It's a blow, he is a fantastic player. We need him but we can't get that run out of him. I'm hoping he will be back for Wolves. He should be okay, it's not a tear."
