Ikeme accepts likely Wolves departure

Carl Ikeme admits he's unlikely to stay at Wolves as he returns from his loan at QPR.

The 23-year-old is behind Marcus Hahnemann and Wayne Hennessey in the Wolves pecking order and is uncertain if he has a long-term future with the Premier League side.

"I'm not sure where I stand when I go back to Wolves," admitted Ikeme, who has not played for Mick McCarthy's side since January 2009.

"All I do know is that I need to play games and I'm not getting any at Wolves. It's an awkward situation. I'm on good terms with everyone at Wolves, but I do want to be playing.

"I've not even been on the bench. It's very frustrating. I want to play so much, you can't beat it.

"I don't like watching. The reserves just keeps you sharp, but it doesn't really mean anything, win, lose or draw. I want my games to mean something and have something to play for. I've loved it here.

"I'm gutted to be going back. It was a great experience and I've played back-to-back and stayed injury free."
