Wahi has served his suspension in Tuesday's first leg of the Ligue 1 playoffs against Saint-Etienne and is available going forward.
Analysis: Wahi will be back in contention for a starting spot, threatening Mohamed-Ali Cho's playing time going forward. Since joining Nice on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt in January, the Ivorian striker has contributed five goals and one assist across 14 league appearances, although he has also missed a few chances. He's projected to represent his country at the World Cup, where he would be a depth player behind Evann Guessand and Ange-Yoan Bonny.
Back available
Wahi (thigh) is back available for Sunday's clash against Auxerre after progressively increasing his training intensity throughout the week, the club posted.
Analysis: Wahi's return to the matchday squad is a timely boost for Nice heading into a crucial end to the campaign, with the Coupe de France final against Lens on May 22 also looming on the horizon. The club managed his workload carefully over the past week to ensure he was ready to contribute without risking a setback. Mohamed-Ali Cho, who had been expected to retain the starting role in his absence, is likely to revert to a depth option with Wahi back in contention.
