Elye Wahi, Ivory Coast’s promising forward, finds himself sidelined not only on the pitch but also geopolitically, as he’s been barred from entering Canada ahead of their crucial World Cup clash with Germany. This comes just a day after news broke that French authorities are actively probing allegations that he might have manipulated events during a Ligue 1 match by deliberately picking up a yellow card.
