World Cup: Ivory Coast star Wahi denied Canadian visa ahead of Germany clash

Ivory Coast forward Elye Wahi has been denied a visa to enter Canada and will miss the team's World Cup match against Germany in Toronto. The Ivorian federation (FIF) gave no reason. Wahi is the second player denied entry into Canada after Ghana's Thomas Partey. Reports say Wahi was questioned by French police over suspicions of spot-fixing related to a yellow card in a Ligue 1 match. The FIF expressed support for Wahi.
