RAFAEL VAN DER Vaart looks set to face Norwich tomorrow in Tottenham’s Tuesday night fixture.
The Dutch international was replaced midway through the midweek draw against Chelsea at White Hart Lane with a hamstring injury.
Initial reports suggested he may be out for a month-and-a-half, but manager Harry Redknapp has revealed it’s not as bad as first feared.
“He looks okay. He looks like he could be fit,” Redknapp told Sky Sports News today. “We thought he had a hamstring. He went for a scan and it didn’t show a tear.

“I think he probably had a bit of cramp in there where he’s had a problem before, a bit of tightness he felt maybe might go, so he took the precaution of not playing on with it.”
The player will train tomorrow and a decision will then be taken ahead of the trip to Carrow Road.
