Ikeme was invited to Wolves training last week and was in high spirits as he joined the rest of the squad for their training session.

Oliseh in 2015 gave Ikeme his first national team bow in a goalless draw against Tanzania.
The goalkeeper, who spent all his professional career on the books of Wolves went on to have 10 caps for the Super Eagles.
He was in goal when Nigeria defeated Zambia in Ndola in a 2018 World Cup qualifying fixture but was soon diagnosed of Leukaemia.
He announced his retirement from football in 2018 following his battle with the disease.
