Super Eagles goalkeeper, Carl Ikeme, who was diagnosed with leukaemia revealed that his cancer is in “complete remission”.

Ikeme, who played a part in Nigeria’s qualification for the 2018 World Cup, was diagnosed with the ailment in July 2017.

In an Instagram post on Saturday, the Wolverhampton Wanderers thanked his family and friends for their relentless support.

Ikeme also thanked the football world and well-meaning people, he wrote,

“After a tough year and intense chemotherapy throughout I would like to let everyone know I am in complete REMISSION. I still have hurdles to get over to be cured but I can hopefully now move forward with some normality.

“I would like to thank my family/friends to start with who have gone above and beyond for me ❤️ The support I have received from Wolves/Nigeria, the football world and from people from all over the world has been hard to put into words.

“I can’t thank everyone at the Christie and heartlands hospital enough for there care!!! What next who knows… I’m just taking it a day at a time #Grateful ?? #Remission.”
