Dismay for goalie Carl
WOLVES keeper Carl Ikeme has been diagnosed with acute leukaemia.
The 31-year-old Nigeria star returned some abnormal blood tests during his pre-season testing.
He will now start an immediate course of chemotherapy.
“It would be an understatement to say that everyone at Wolves has been shocked and saddened to hear the news of Carl’s diagnosis,” said managing director Laurie Dalrymple.
Ikeme joined Wanderers in 2003 and has made more than 200 appearances for the Championship club.
