He’s back! While his last match with the “Stars and Stripes” was in September 2024 due to his absence due to injury, Folarin Balogun is now making his big comeback with the United States. The Monaco striker (49 matches, 12 goals and 4 assists) has been called up by Mauricio Pochettino to play two friendly matches during the September international break.
Reuniting with a teammate
A year later, Balo' will return to his compatriots to face South Korea (Saturday, September 6) and his AS Monaco teammate, Takumi Minamino, against Japan (Wednesday, September 10). These are two good tests ahead of the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted partly on American soil from June 11 to July 19. This will be an opportunity for the Monaco striker to regain his form.
