Andres Cubas - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Ready to play Cubas (quadriceps) will be available Saturday against New York City FC according to coach Jesper Sorensen, Har Journalist of Equalizer Soccer reports.

Impact Cubas didn't take part in the last two MLS games due to a muscular issue, with his absence representing a major blow to the squad's midfield. While it remains to be seen when he'll be back in the starting lineup, he's usually reliable for passes and tackles and should eventually regain a consistent role. Both Jeevan Singh Badwal and Oliver Larraz are at risk of losing playing time when the Paraguayan is back on the field.

Nearing return, unlikely Saturday Cubas (quadriceps) is progressing well ahead of schedule in his recovery but is unlikely to feature in Saturday's clash against Portland, according to coach Jesper Sorensen, per Ha...

Impact Cubas has been making impressive strides in his rehab after picking up the quad injury during the midweek CONCACAF Champions Cup loss to Seattle, and the glowing assessment from his coach is a real positive sign for Vancouver. The Paraguayan midfielder had been in strong form before going down, averaging over 36 accurate passes and three tackles across each of his last four league starts, so his return will be a major boost whenever it comes. Oliver Larraz has been covering in his absence, and it looks like he will need to hold things down for at least another week before Cubas is ready to return.

Absent from practice Cubas (quadriceps) didn't train Friday as he continues to deal with an injury, per Har Journalist of Equalizer Soccer.

Impact Cubas looks set to miss time after picking up the issue during the midweek CCC loss to Seattle Sounders. This could be a big problem for Vancouver and the Paraguayan national team for upcoming weeks, as the midfielder had gained some momentum with over 36 accurate passes and three tackles in each of his last four league starts. Oliver Larraz could step into a bigger role in Cubas' absence.

Impact Cubas had to come off in the first half of Wednesday's CONCACAF Champions Cup loss to Seattle after picking up a quad injury and is now a doubt for Saturday's matchup against San Jose. The midfielder is expected to be evaluated in the coming hours to determine the severity, but if he ends up missing time, Oliver Larraz is in line to step into a bigger role in the middle of the park.

Signs contract extension Cubas has reached a contract extension with Vancouver until the 2027/28 MLS season, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Cubas is likely to remain one of the Whitecaps' first-choice holding midfielders after securing a new deal with the team. He has made more than 25 starts in each of his last three MLS seasons, and that could remain the case in 2026 as long as he stays fit. He has previously served as a dominant ball distributor and defensive contributor while recording occasional playmaking stats.

Impact Cubas had a strong season debut, winning five of the six tackles made to help keep the clean sheet Saturday. He is playing in his sixth season in MLS as he continues to be a strong asset to the defensive midfield, averaging about 75 tackles made per campaign since 2022.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

30 starts in 2025 Cubas recorded 30 starts in 31 appearances (including the playoffs) during the 2025 MLS season.

Impact Cubas completed his first 30+ game season with Vancouver, maintaining consistency in 2025. He recorded one assist, along with 84 tackles, 43 interceptions, and 35 clearances. The midfielder will enter the final year of his contract after being with the club since the 2022 season, emerging as one of the team leaders.

Delivers assist vs. San Diego Cubas assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 win over San Diego FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 59th minute.

Impact Cubas set up the team's first goal with a clever assist from close range that allowed Brian White to find the back of the net. The Paraguay international is known more for his defensive contributions rather than for his attacking prowess, though, so he's not expected to carry a ton of fantasy upside in the MLS Cup final against Inter Miami on Saturday, where he's expected to have his hands full trying to contain Lionel Messi and company.

Out with national team Cubas is out for Saturday's trip to Orlando while on international duty with Paraguay.

Clears suspension Cubas is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Impact Cubas has cleared his ban due to yellow cards accumulation, with the midfielder set to return in their next contest. Cubas has been an undisputed starter in the midfield for Vancouver and is expected to return directly to the starting squad against Seattle on Saturday.

Set for suspension Cubas will serve one-match ban due to an accumulation of yellow cards, according to the league.

Starting versus Houston Cubas (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's match against Houston Dynamo.

Impact Cubas avoided a serious issue from the blow that forced him to leave the last MLS game, thus retaining his spot in the lineup over Ralph Priso. The Paraguayan is in subpar form but is usually capable of producing defensive stats and could contribute to his team's passing game.

AUGUST 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with injury Saturday Cubas was forced off in the 75th minute of Saturday's 2-1 loss to San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Cubas worked on defensive tasks in midfield but had to give way to Ralph Priso in the final stretch of the game. The Paraguayan is now questionable for the upcoming meeting with Houston Dynamo, in which both Priso and Jeevan Singh Badwal could be viable alternatives.

AUGUST 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Substitute option Wednesday Cubas (ankle) is on the bench for the midweek match against Houston Dynamo.

Impact Cubas returned to training earlier in the week and could see some minutes in either Emmanuel Sabbi's or Sebastian Berhalter's place in this game. The Paraguayan international might eventually regain a starting spot, as he has played from kickoff in each of his 15 MLS appearances this year. He's rarely involved in attacking play but can produce through tackles and passes from a midfield role.

Trains Tuesday Cubas (ankle) was able to train Tuesday, according to Har Journalist of Equalizer Soccer.

Impact Cubas was absent from the last match after missing training, but has made improvements this week, as he rejoined training. This is solid news ahead of Wednesday's match, possibly making the call when facing Houston. He is a regular starter when fit, so the club will hope to have him available and in that role Wednesday.

Out of training Cubas (ankle) wasn't training Tuesday, per Har Journalist.

Impact Cubas remained absent from team training during Tuesday's session. The midfielder is still working his way back from an ankle injury he suffered at the end of June. There's no clear timeline on his recovery but until he starts training he will be a significant doubt, especially with an injury that could be aggravated.

JULY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out against Galaxy Cubas suffered an ankle injury in their last contest and is ruled out for Friday's clash against LA Galaxy, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Cubas suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's game against LAFC that was initially considered minor, but the staff does not want to take any risks with their key midfield player. As a result, he will miss Friday's clash against LA Galaxy and will hope to return next Saturday for the trip to face the Colorado Rapids. Until then, Pedro Vite will likely play in a more central position in midfield.

Back with Vancouver Cubas (not injury related) returned to training Thursday and will be an option to face Columbus on Saturday, Har Journalist of DailyHive Vancouver reports.

Impact Cubas went the full 90 in both of Paraguay matches during the recent Qualifiers window: a 2-0 win over Uruguay and a 1-0 loss to Brazil. The defensive midfielder should recover his place in midfield for the Whitecaps after not playing the last time out in the 3-0 win over the Sounders.

JUNE 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Heading out with NT Cubas has been called up by Paraguay for the Wolrd Cup Qualification South America games against Uruguay and Brazil on June 6 and June 11, respectively.

Impact Cubas has been an undisputed starter in the midfield for Vancouver this season but due to the call-up, he will miss the match against Seattle on Sunday. He should return in time to face Columbus on June 14. His absence will therefore force a change in the starting XI, with Jeevan Singh Badwal likely replacing him in the midfield on Sunday.
