Ivory Coast striker Elye Wahi, who is under investigation for alleged betting-related offences, has not been authorized to travel to Canada for his team’s next World Cup match against Germany, the Ivorian football federation said on Thursday.
Ivory Coast faces Germany on Saturday in Toronto.
The federation said Wahi, who is under investigation in France, will not be able to travel with the squad because “the necessary administrative authorisations for his entry into Canadian territory could not be obtained at this stage.”
