The 31-year-old
Nigerian international goalkeeper returned some abnormal blood tests during his
pre-season testing, and 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," managing director Laurie Dalrymple
said in a club statement.
"At the same
time, we all know what a fighter and a competitor Carl is, and I have no doubt
that he will take all of those attributes into this battle.
"There are
going to be some very tough times ahead, but he will receive the best possible
care, aided and supported by our own club doctor and medical team, as he
embarks on the lengthy process of treatment."
Ikeme joined Wolves
in 2003 and has made over 200 appearances for the Sky Bet Championship club.
