What happened: The MLS Disciplinary Committee added one match to Gerardo Valenzuela’s automatic red-card suspension for serious foul play in the 69th minute on March 15. The FC Cincinnati midfielder served the penalties on March 22 and April 4.

Why it matters: The completed suspension does not affect FC Cincinnati’s August availability. It remains part of Valenzuela’s 2026 disciplinary record.

What to watch: Any further absence would require a separate disciplinary or roster development.
