World Cup: Iceland pays respect to Carl Ikeme ahead of Nigeria tie

The Iceland national team in Russia 2018 World Cup has paid their respect to Nigeria’s ailing goalkeeper, Carl Ikeme.

Iceland is grouped in Group D along with Nigeria, Argentina and Croatia.

Few days before the next preliminary round match with the Super Eagles after holding Argentina to a 1-1 draw last Saturday, Iceland, in a photo, posed with their team jersey with Ikeme on it.

Ikeme, who would have been the Super Eagles number 1 man in goal, is currently battling leukemia. As a mark of honour, the Super Eagles named him as the teams unregistered 24th player to the world cup.
