Carl Ikeme has expressed his displeasure at missing the 2018 World Cup after illness sidelined him from football action temporarily.
The Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper last played a game in March 2017 after he was diagnosed with acute leukaemia.
The Super Eagles qualified for the World Cup in the absence of the 31-year-old and will kick-off their campaign in Group D with Croatia on June 16, before taking on Iceland and Argentina.
“To say I’m devastated about missing the World Cup is an understatement. But I just want to thank everyone in Nigeria for their prayers, love and messages,” Ikeme tweeted.
