"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.''

Our thoughts are with @NGSuperEagles GK, @Carl_Ikeme who has been dianosed with leukaemia. We will pray and rally round him at this time. pic.twitter.com/IRtxydJWXb
