🚨 Элие Вахи пропустит матч с Германией!

A major blow for Ivory Coast.

While Elye Wahi played the very first World Cup match of his career with Ivory Coast on the night from Sunday to Monday, L'Équipe reported this Wednesday that the OGC Nice striker was questioned by police at the end of May after the LFP filed a complaint against persons unknown over suspicious betting linked to a booking the forward received at the end of the season with Nice, against Metz on the final Ligue 1 matchday (0-0).

Elye Wahi’s strange week continued this Thursday, as the Ivorian Football Federation announced that its striker will not be able to play in the clash against Germany on Saturday evening, which will take place in Canada!

"The administrative authorizations required for his entry into Canadian territory have not been obtained at this stage. Elye Wahi will therefore remain in the United States while awaiting the team’s return," the statement said.

As a reminder, Ivory Coast won its opening match 1-0 against Ecuador.
