Van der Vaart upset over Spurs omission

MIDFIELDER Rafael van der Vaart is unhappy with Tottenham Hotspur's decision to leave him out of its Europa League squad, having recovered from injury faster than expected.

The Dutch international tore his hamstring in a 1-5 defeat against Manchester City in late August and Spurs said at the time that he was likely to be out for six to eight weeks. "Spurs could at least have consulted me on this (squad omission)," the player wrote on his website under the headline 'annoying'. "I think it's a peculiar situation. Anyway it's up to the point of no return. I will (now) be focusing on the game against Liverpool (on Sunday). I'm pretty convinced I will be fit by then."
