Wolves goalkeeper Carl Ikeme has been diagnosed with acute leukaemia.
The 31-year-old Nigeria international returned abnormal blood tests during pre-season testing, and further tests revealed he is suffering from leukaemia.
Ikeme will now start an immediate course of chemotherapy as he begins a lengthy battle against the disease.
“It would be an understatement to say that everyone at Wolves has been shocked and saddened to hear the news of Carl’s diagnosis,” said Wolves' managing director Laurie Dalrymple.
“That relates to both players and staff as Carl has been at the club for a very long time and remains such an integral personality within the group.
The club say they'll offer all their love and support to Carl and his family and that he'll receive the best possible care, supported by the club doctor and medical team.
Carl and his family are requesting that their privacy be respected at this time, and any updates on his progress will be provided through the club.

Ikeme made his debut for Nigeria in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between Tanzania and Nigeria on 5th September 2016.
