Van der Vaart adds to Spurs injury problems

Tottenham’s injury crisis deepened last night with the news Rafael van der Vaart is likely to miss the club’s next three games with a hamstring injury.

Van der Vaart has played a key part in Tottenham’s good form recently, but struggled to make an impact in last night’s 1-1 draw against Chelsea and had to come off at half-time after complaining of a hamstring injury.
