Super Eagles Goalkeeper Carl Ikeme Diagnosed With Acute Leukaemia
Wolverhampton FC and Nigerian Super Eagles goalkeeper Carl Ikeme has been diagnosed with acute leukaemia. The 31-year-old Nigeria international returned abnormal blood tests during pre-season testing, and further tests revealed he is suffering from leukaemia.
Ikeme will now start an immediate course of chemotherapy as he begins a lengthy battle against the disease. Ikeme has been with Wolves for his entire career, making more than 200 appearances for Wanderers. Thirty-three of those came last season, having previously been in the team that won the League One title in 2013-14.
