US head coach Mauricio Pochettino says he welcomes Folarin Balogun’s reprieve after FIFA suspends the striker’s red-card ban ahead of the United States’ World Cup last-16 match against Belgium. Multiple reports state that FIFA moves to suspend the consequences of Balogun’s earlier red card, allowing him to be available for the next knockout game. CNA frames Pochettino’s reaction ahead of the match, while Free Malaysia Today reports the reason for the change, citing FIFA’s decision to suspend Balogun’s red-card ban before the Tuesday encounter. The adjustment affects the US team’s selection options for the game, which is scheduled as a last-16 fixture against Belgium. The reports do not provide further details on the grounds for FIFA’s decision or any additional disciplinary actions. Overall, both outlets agree that Balogun is set to benefit from FIFA’s suspension reprieve and is expected to be part of the US squad for the match.
