Revealed: How Wolves will be showing their support for Carl Ikeme following leukaemia diagnosis

And 10 per cent of home ticket gate receipts from Wolves' curtain raiser at home to Middlesbrough will be donated to Cure Leukaemia.

The popular Ikeme has recently been diagnosed with acute leukaemia and is now undergoing treatment.

The whole football world has rallied round the 31-year-old with the likes of fellow goalkeepers David De Gea and Iker Casillas showing support as well of a number of clubs and supporters from all over the world.

Birmingham-based Cure Leukaemia will also do a bucket collection at the Boro clash, on August 5. And Wolves will also donate all profits from printing "Ikeme 1" on the back of replica shirts to the charity. The club said it will retrospectively donate for any fans who have already had this printed on a 2017/18 replica shirt.

Banners and flags as well as messages on advertising boards will also highlight support for Ikeme, while a 'get well card' will be available in Wolfie's Den for fans to sign.

Wolves said: "Thank you to everyone who has sent in messages of support. We will be collating them all and passing them on to Carl and his family at an appropriate time.

"Wolves are also aware of a number of initiatives fans are aiming to organise for Carl which is greatly appreciated. We are currently helping supporters with some plans which will hopefully offer an opportunity for as many fans as possible to show their backing for Carl.

"These plans have been drawn up and driven by supporters but will be assisted by the club where possible. Fans are also encouraged to organise their own further fundraising initiatives if they wish, alongside supporting the activities at the Middlesbrough fixture."

Those plans include a 24-hour penalty shoot out

Cure Leukaemia chief executive James McLaughlin said: "Carl’s diagnosis is sadly another example of how indiscriminate blood cancer is.

“We are immensely grateful to Wolverhampton Wanderers for this tremendous support for Cure Leukaemia.

“Every single penny raised will go towards our £1m appeal to double the capacity of the Centre for Clinical Haematology at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

"During what is clearly a very difficult time for Carl and his family on behalf of everyone associated with Cure Leukaemia I would like to send him our very best wishes.”
