Rafael van der Vaart believes that he will return from his hamstring injury sooner than expected.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rafael van der Vaart hopes that he can return from his hamstring injury in "one to two weeks".

The Dutch international tore the muscle during Spurs' 5-1 home defeat to Manchester City last weekend and had been ruled out for at least six weeks.

However, the 28-year-old believes that he could be back playing a lot sooner than that.

"It feels okay now," Van der Vaart told De Telegraaf. "I hope in one to two weeks to make my comeback.

"The past has proven that I can quickly recover from such an injury."

Van der Vaart will not recover in time for Spurs' next match away to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, September 10.
