The Wolverhampton Wanderers goaltender shared the news via his Twitter handle, tweeting; “After a year of intense chemotherapy I would like to share that I am in complete REMISSION.”
The 32-year-old Goalkeeper has been battling acute leukaemia which made him sit out of the Super Eagles World Cup and Wolves squad.

The Super Eagles won the game, 2:0, thanks to pacy forward Ahmed Musa, who scored both goals.
