West Ham boss Grant welcomes back Keane for Stoke Cup clash

West Ham United boss Avram Grant hopes to count on Robbie Keane for their FA Cup tie at Stoke City.

The on-loan Tottenham striker looks set to return to the starting line-up at Stoke and Grant believes the striker has had a big impact.

"Robbie came in at a very hard time for the team when we had a lot of injuries, played well and then got injured," Grant said.

"He was important for us in the short term. He is a good player to have in the dressing room as well and I just hope he will be fit and OK now."
