West Ham United boss Avram Grant is desperate for Scott Parker to return.
Parker is missing with an Achilles injury.
Grant said: "Every week we say 'next week' with Scott.
"No one more than me wants him to play, but if he cannot, he cannot.
"I didn't think it was such a bad injury, but we've missed him since Manchester United. We want him to play. There is no one more than me who wants him to play. He's more than a player for me.
"I think a player like Robbie Keane, and others that missed today like Demba Ba, want to score. They didn't score, but I wish I knew why.
"I cannot question the effort and I will not criticise the players for their effort. But we didn't score."
