Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper John Ruddy has said that everyone at the club is getting behind fellow stopper Carl Ikeme, who was diagnosed with leukaemia in July.

Ikeme, who has not featured since beginning a course of chemotherapy in the summer, starred as Wolves' first-choice goalkeeper last season.

The club promoted John Ruddy, who was second-best to Ikeme last season, to the first team and he has earned 15 clean sheets in the Championship this term.

Ruddy has said that while he is thankful for the opportunity in the first team, he is also appreciative of the "delicate" circumstances in which his chance came.

"It was difficult circumstances because I am pleased that I had joined an ambitious club but also the circumstances surrounding that were very delicate as well," the 31-year-old told The Guardian.

"Having competed against Carl for a number of years I know what a very good goalkeeper he is, and a great guy as well. Everyone at the club is still supporting him in whatever aspect he needs and will continue to do so.

"It puts everything into perspective; football is a game at the end of the day, and your families, health and livelihoods always come first. With Carl and his family, everyone is just making sure he is on the long road to recovery."

Ikeme's course of treatment is expected to continue until April.
