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."
