Face Of The Franchise
Tottenham Hotspur fear Rafael van der Vaart could be sidelined for a month after suffering a hamstring injury. Van der Vaart lasted just 12 minutes of Sunday's 2-1 win against Liverpool at White Hart Lane before being replaced by Jermain Defoe.
The Dutchman has been hampered by injury woes since his move to Spurs from Real Madrid and Harry Redknapp believes the World Cup may have had an impact on the playmaker's fitness.
"Rafa felt it tear, so that doesn't look too good," said Redknapp.
"Younes felt he might have torn a muscle in his hip. He felt that go.
"It's so disappointing for Rafa. He keeps picking up little injuries.
