NEW: President Trump personally called FIFA President Gianni Infantino to ask him to review the suspension of U.S. player Folarin Balogun, according to the NYT.
Balogun was given a red card against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday and was suspended for the next game.
FIFA has now announced that Balogun will be eligible to play on Monday against Belgium.
“Thank you to FIFA for doing what was right and reversing a great injustice,” President Trump said on Truth Social.
Good. Everyone knows that call was ridiculous.
🚨 Tottenham are now just two steps away from completing the signing of Sandro Tonali after agreeing a financial package for the Newcastle midfielder.
Spurs are prepared to break their transfer record with a deal worth around £100M, while personal terms are already in place.
Roberto De Zerbi has made Tonali his priority midfield target after the signing of Mateus Fernandes.

Albert Riera [Former Eintracht Frankfurt coach]: "To be honest, the level of the Bundesliga was somewhat disappointing. Bayern Munich are of course in a league of their own and cannot be reached. Borussia Dortmund can keep up reasonably well with their budget. Then there are surprises like Stuttgart, but the rest was disappointing for me. The teams in the bottom third of the table all play exactly the same way. When you analyze them, you get the feeling you're playing against the same opponent every week. If you look at the sums of money spent in Germany – 20, 30, even 40 million euros – compared to the amounts in the Slovenian league, it's not a different world at all. That's reality. If Celje were to play against Frankfurt, they could hold their own. I'm not saying they're better, but they can compete. The difference is smaller than it appears from the outside" [@Sport_Klub_Slo via @BILD]
🚨🦅 Eintracht Frankfurt are prepared to seal the arrival of Albert Riera as new head coach in the next days.
Agreement imminent but expected to take some days.
