President of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, and
Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr, were in london
Friday to
see Carl Ikeme.
The first-choice Super Eagles and Wolverhampton Wanderers’ goalkeeper
was recently diagnosed with acute leukaemia and has been on treatment.
The 31-year old, who missed out a part of last season due to injury,
was on the verge of returning to full fitness before the unfortunate
diagnosis.
The NFF, via their official Twitter handle on Friday posted a picture
of the trio with the caption, “PHOTO: NFF President @PinnickAmaju
alongside Coach Gernot Rohr visited Eagles goalie @Carl_Ikeme today in
London.”
Earlier this week, Wolves confirmed that Ikeme will retain his No.1
jersey for the 2017/2018 season despite his battle with leukaemia.
The club, which already promised in a statement that the Nigerian
“will receive the best possible care”, is currently working closely on
fundraising with the Cure Leukaemia charity to show support and raise
awareness.
