Ivory Coast striker Elye Wahi has been ruled out of the World Cup group stage clash against Germany after being refused entry into Canada . Wahi was reportedly arrested on suspicion of match-fixing just a fortnight before the World Cup, in connection with an incident during a match for French club Nice last month. The forward travelled to the United States for the tournament and started in the victory over Ecuador in Philadelphia, but the Ivorian Football Federation has since confirmed he will not be joining his teammates on the trip to Canada.
