Ivory Coast striker Elye Wahi will miss his side's World Cup clash with Germany after being denied entry to Canada amid an ongoing criminal investigation in France. The 23-year-old remains in the United States while authorities examine allegations linked to suspicious betting activity during a Ligue 1 match earlier this year.
Investigative authorities in France have reportedly questioned Ivory Coast international Elye Wahi in relation to serious spot-fixing allegations. The shocking claims involve an intentional yellow card received during a domestic match just weeks before the forward took to the field at the World Cup.
Nice’s president has admitted that the French Cup is not a priority, as they have a Ligue 1 play-off awaiting in four days. Lens face a distracted opponent.
