Ivory Coast forward Elye Wahi has been cleared to enter Canada for the World Cup group match against Germany after earlier being denied authorisation. The decision follows questions linked to an ongoing spot-fixing investigation in France.

Canadian officials reportedly requested more information on Wahi’s legal situation before allowing temporary entry. Ivory Coast’s federation said he can travel with the squad as normal, while French football authorities said no disciplinary action has started yet.
