President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Pinnick Amaju and Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, Friday visited Eagles goalie Carl_Ikeme in London.

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.
