ristian Pulisic told CBS News that Balogun is  super happy  with the decision, as is the rest of the team.

 Just a big smile on his face and all of ours,  Pulisic said.

Pulisic and fellow USMNT players Alex Freeman and Chris Richards told CBS News that they are focused on mentally preparing for the match on Monday. Pulisic said that Balogun has been practicing with the team despite the suspension, and Freeman said no matter what, Balogun had intended to  be here for the team. 

With Balogun's suspension lifted, he will be able to  bring physicality  and  hold up play,  Freeman said. Richards said that Balogun's return  gives us a little bit more confidence  heading into the match.

 He brings a lot of space, a lot of power,  Freeman said.

Balogun has scored three goals so far in the World Cup. His offensive presence will likely be on display against Belgium, as the USMNT looks to enter the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002.
