Nigerian Super Eagles goalkeeper and Wolverhampton Wanderers player, Carl Ikeme has been diagnosed with a terminal disease.
The goalkeeper was reported to be battling leukemia following a blood test which was run on him during the pre-season training testing.
The club, Wolvehampton Wanderers, confirmed the medical condition of the Nigerian goalkeeper in a statement released on Wednesday evening.
Ikeme joined the club in 2003 although he has been unfortunate with injuries and has therefore spent a lot of recovery time out on loan.
