Balogun was issued a red card in a 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, earning him an automatic suspension. However, FIFA ruled on Sunday that he won't have to sit out the round of 16 game. It came after President Donald Trump called FIFA's president to urge him to review the red card, according to two sources.
