Dutch playmaker looked set for a spell on the sidelines with a suspected hamstring tear but the Spurs boss has revealed that a scan showed the problem to be less serious.Tottenham midfielder Rafael van der Vaart could be fit and ready to play in the club\'s upcoming match against Norwich City on Tuesday, according to manager Harry Redknapp.The Dutchman was withdrawn at half-time against Chelsea with what was suspected at the time to be a hamstring tear that could have kept him out for the rest of 2011.A scan, however, revealed the problem to be minor, giving Van der Vaart a chance of featuring at Carrow Road.\"He looks okay,\" Redknapp told Sky Sports. \"He looks like he could be fit [to face Norwich].\"We thought he had a hamstring [tear]. He went for a scan and it didn\'t show a tear.\"I think he probably had a bit of cramp in there where he\'s had a problem before, a bit of tightness he felt maybe might go, so he took the precaution of not playing on with it.\"Van der Vaart has filled in for the injured Aaron Lennon on the right side of midfield, and Redknapp admitted Spurs lacked a natural alternative to the English winger when he was unavailable.\"We had no-one who could play wide right to give us the balance we needed [in the match against Chelsea],\" he said.\"When Aaron Lennon is not out there, we haven\'t really got a wide right player.\"
