Dutch playmaker Rafael van der Vaart is set to make a speedy injury comeback and could be fit by next week, his Bundesliga club Hamburg said on Tuesday.
.
The 30-year-old injured his ankle playing for Holland during the 0-0 draw against Colombia last week and was originally expected to be out for three to four weeks.
.
"He's improving rapidly and I think he'll be fit already for the German Cup match against Cologne on December 3," said Hamburg sports director Oliver Kreuzer.
.
Van der Vaart missed Sunday's 3-1 win over Hanover and will also sit out Friday's trip to Wolfsburg.
.
"I feel much better, we'll see how it evolves over the coming days," said Van der Vaart.
That is good news for his football club. He is in the right place at the right time, He has to get well soon!
His return should definately change things in that club he's in.
