Van der Vaart still a doubt for Spurs

Rafael van der Vaart remains a major doubt for Tottenham’s Barclays Premier League game against Sunderland tomorrow with a hamstring injury.

Midfielder Van der Vaart is still nursing the problem that kept him out of Saturday’s 4-2 defeat at Bolton, while defender William Gallas also picked up a knock at the Reebok Stadium and was due to be assessed today.
