Tottenham ace Van der Vaart convinced he will be back inside fortnight

Tottenham midfielder Rafael van der Vaart insists he can overcome his hamstring injury setback.

He missed his country's 11-0 thrashing of San Marino on Friday night and will also sit out next Tuesday's Euro 2012 qualifier away to Finland.

"It feels okay now," said Van der Vaart in 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."
