THE Belgian Football Association has said it is “astonished” and “investigating all potential options” after it emerged Donald Trump called Fifa president Gianni Infantino to ask for US striker Folarin Balogun’s one-match ban to be reviewed.
Balogun, who has scored three goals at the tournament, was dismissed during the second half of the World Cup co-hosts’ 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, but on Sunday the Fifa Disciplinary Committee announced it would suspend the player’s one-match ban by a probationary period of one year.
