Rafael van der Vaart could be in contention for Tottenham's next Premier League match against Liverpool following a rapid recovery from injury.
The Dutch playmaker suffered a hamstring injury during Spurs' home defeat by Manchester City last month and was expected to be sidelined for around six weeks.
He sat out his country's Euro 2012 qualifiers and was also unavailable for Spurs' first win of the season against Wolves on Saturday.
