Carl Ikeme

Sad news as Wolves goalkeeper Carl Ikeme has been diagnosed with acute leukemia, and will begin chemotherapy immediately.

Ikeme was at County early in his career during the 2005/06 where he made 9 appearances during a loan spell from Wolves, which was cut short due to a hand injury.

Ikeme returned "abnormal blood tests" during pre-season testing for Wolves last week and further checks which confirmed the diagnosis.

We wish Ikeme all the best with his treatment and recovery.
