Folarin Balogun, was sent off in the last game and should have served a suspension for the last-16 match against Belgium.

The BBC's US media partner CBS News has confirmed that Balogun's reinstatement came after US president Donald Trump called Fifa president Gianni Infantino on Thursday and spoke about the suspension.
