Tottenham's Redknapp allays van der Vaart injury fears

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has allayed any injury fears concerning new recruit Rafael van der Vaart.

The Dutchman was subbed off in the 49th minute of the 2-2 Champions League draw with Werder Bremen on Tuesday night with a leg problem but Redknapp said it was more precautionary than anything.

"We got him off before he actually got a tear," Redknapp said.

van der Vaart will be monitored ahead of the weekend's league clash with Wolves at White Hart Lane.
