Ikeme Makes Strong Return To Football After Cancer Scare by odun360(m): 6:10pm On Jan 23, 2019
Former Super Eagles goalkeeper Carl Ikeme who now radiates with a clean bill of health has finally got a new job as he resumed his television punditry role for BT Sports in the Premier League on Saturday when Wolves defeated Leicester City 4-3 at the Molineux Stadium on Saturday. 32-year-old Carl Ikeme spent his entire career at Wolves, making 207 appearances across all competitions.

He was diagnosed with acute leukaemia in July 2017 after returning abnormal blood tests during a routine pre-season check-up.

Wolves won the English Championship title and returned to the Premier League, but Ikeme played no part due to his ill-health and subsequent treatment.

Ikeme, who was in complete remission after a tough year and intense chemotherapy, finally announced his retirement from football on medical grounds on July 27, 2018.


The former Nigeria international, however, made a comeback to the public glare on Saturday when Wolves hosted Leicester City in a Premier League encounter at the Molineux Stadium.
