Cardiff vs Wolves: Ikeme Faces Late Fitness Test

By Augustine Akhilomen

All things been equal, Super Eagles goalkeeper, Carl Ikeme could be in goal for Wolves as they face Cardiff in a Championship tie on Saturday.

Ikeme missed Nigeria’s 1-1 draw against the Teranga Lions of Senegal last week Wednesday in London due to a slight hamstring injury and was a major doubt for the Wolves team ahead of Saturday’s game.

However, manager,Paul Lambert has revealed that he would continue to monitor his fitness progress in a bid to ascertain his readiness against Cardiff.

The Nigerian international has being at the goalpost for majority of Wolves games in the Championship and has conceded fewer goals in the process.

Wolves are currently 16th in the table and will be looking for their fourth straight win in the league.
