Keane is poised for surprise return

STRIKER Robbie Keane could be set for a surprise comeback at West Brom tonight, alongside Tottenham’s newest signings Michael Carrick and Noe Paramot.

Keane was stretchered off during a pre-season friendly with Rangers in July after damaging ligaments in his right ankle. However, the 24-year-old could be rushed back ahead of schedule as Freddie Kanoute picked up a knock during Tottenham’s win against Newcastle, leaving just Jermain Defoe as the only fit striker at the club.

Midfielder Carrick, who completed his transfer from West Ham earlier yesterday, is set to make his debut, as is right-back Pamarot, who signed from Nice on Monday.
