Florin Balogun received a straight red card following a video review for stepping on a Bosnia-Herzegovina defender's foot in the round-of-32 match that the US won 2-0.

US President Donald Trump confirmed on Monday he asked FIFA boss Gianni Infantino to review Balogun's ban, telling reporters at the White House: "I asked for a review because I didn't think it was a foul."

The decision to defer US star Folarin Balogun's one-match World Cup suspension following President Donald Trump's phone call to FIFA chief Gianni Infantino has sparked comment from far and wide.

The 26-year-old has joined the north London side on a three-year contract.

FIFA's ruling, which came after the intervention of Donald Trump, permits Florin Balogun to play in the co-hosts' World Cup last 16 match with Belgium later on Monday.
