Hammers striker pressing for first-team duty
West Ham's on-loan striker Robbie Keane is looking forward to returning to first-team action after recovering from a thigh injury.
The Tottenham marksman has spent the past five weeks on the sidelines after suffering the blow in training.
Keane, who scored on his debut at Blackpool, made his comeback off the bench in Sunday's defeat at Stoke before scoring in an hour-long appearance in the reserves' 4-2 victory against Newcastle on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old insists he has fully recovered from the knock following a frustrating spell on the sidelines and is now looking to force his way back into Avram Grant's side.
Frustration
"The injury is fine now," he told the club's
official website.
"It has obviously been frustrating. You come to a new club and you want to play as soon as possible and you get injured.
"It is nice to get back and be able to get another 60 minutes. I am looking forward now to pushing on.
"It is always nice to score whether it is a reserve game or first-team game but the most important thing for me was getting as many minutes as I could under my belt."
