Steven Defour to serve one-match ban

FIFA have confirmed that Steven Defour will be suspended for just one of Belgium's World Cup matches.

The midfielder was red carded for a challenge that he made on South Korea's Kim Shin-Wook last week, which had prompted the game's governing body to consider a longer ban.

However, following a meeting, it has been decided that the 26-year-old will only be made to sit out one encounter.

As a result, Belgium head coach Marc Wilmots will have to make do without Defour's services against USA tomorrow, but he will be available for the quarter-finals, should the Red Devils qualify.
