Valenzuela's March MLS suspension resurfaces in July

Both matches were served by April 4

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Jul 301 min read

What happened: MLS issued the decision after Matchday 4 of the 2026 season. The committee fined Gerardo Valenzuela an undisclosed amount under Parameter 2.

Why it matters: Supplemental punishment took the case beyond the automatic red-card sanction. It now forms part of Valenzuela's 2026 disciplinary history.

By the numbers: The ban covered two matches after serious foul play in the 69th minute on March 15: the automatic suspension on March 22 and an additional match on April 4.

What to watch: No further suspension remains from this decision. Valenzuela's current availability rests on FC Cincinnati's team selection.
