Houston DynamoSuspension cleared
Andrade's one match suspension for yellow card accumulation has now been served.
Analysis: Andrade had missed the match against Real Salt Lake after picking up his eighth yellow card of the season in the draw with Charlotte, an absence tied to disciplinary accumulation rather than injury. His return to availability now positions him to reclaim his spot in Houston's back line as the season continues.
Sends in two crosses
Andrade took an off target shot and crossed twice inaccurately during Saturday's 0-0 draw with Charlotte.
Analysis: Andrade was a part of the Houston back four that kept a clean sheet Saturday. The fullback has combined for two shots, three crosses and three tackles over his last three appearances.
Back in XI, helps secure shutout
Felipe Andrade had one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against San Jose Earthquakes.
Analysis: Andrade was back in the starting lineup after entering as a halftime substitute in his last outing, having missed two games with a lower body injury. He contributed defensively to another clean sheet for the home side, finishing with one tackle, one interception, one block and two clearances, while also managing one shot offensively.
On bench Saturday
Andrade (lower body) is on the bench in the weekend's game versus St. Louis City.
Analysis: Andrade had missed a couple of matches due to his injury, but he overcame the blow in time to be an option again for this contest. The defender started in each of his previous 15 MLS outings in 2026, switching between different roles in the back line. During that span, he produced one goal while registering 63 clearances, 33 tackles and 20 interceptions. He should be a natural competitor to Marcelo Saracchi and Lawrence Ennali in the full-back spots going forward.
Doubtful with lower body issue
Andrade was listed as questionable for Saturday's match against Los Angeles Galaxy due to a lower body injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.
Analysis: Andrade has served as the Dynamo's first-choice right-back and occasionally been deployed in other defensive positions, and his lower body injury is a significant concern for their defensive strength. If he can play, the Dynamo retain a reliable piece, but otherwise Franco Negri and Sam Vines could see increased action. Andrade's exact status remains uncertain heading into upcoming fixtures.
Suspension served
Andrade has served his one-match suspension and is available for Saturday's clash against Vancouver.
Analysis: Andrade had been forced to sit out Wednesday's fixture against Real Salt Lake after accumulating five yellow cards in MLS competition, with Erik Sviatchenko covering in his absence. The right-back is an undisputed starter in Houston's back line and his return restores the preferred defensive setup for the Dynamo heading into the weekend clash against the Whitecaps.
Suspended one game
Andrade will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in the MLS.
Analysis: Andrade picked up his fifth yellow card in the MLS and will serve a one-match suspension for Wednesday's clash against Real Salt Lake. The right-back has been an undisputed starter in the back line for Houston this season, therefore his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Ibrahim Aliyu or Erik Sviatchenko as possible options to replace him.
