Impact Echenique is cleared to return to action after being forced to miss the Montreal clash despite having no injury concerns. The winger was initially called up by Venezuela for the international break but was unable to travel due to visa issues, with FIFA regulations preventing him from featuring for Cincinnati during that period. With those restrictions no longer applying, Echenique is back in contention for Saturday's match against Atlanta United and could provide an additional attacking option for Cincinnati.

Reasons for absence revealed Echenique won't play for Cincinnati against Montreal on Saturday because players who can't play at the international level can't feature in club matches during the FIFA window, acc...

Impact Echenique was initially called up by Venezuela for the international window in September and October, but visa-related issues prevented him from traveling to Asia. Even though he'd be technically available to play since he's not injured, FIFA rules prevent the winger from suiting up for this match. Echenique should be available to play when Cincy resume their MLS campaign against Atlanta United on Oct. 10.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Out for non-injury reasons Echenique won't play Saturday against Montreal for reasons not related to injury.

Impact Echenique's situation is unclear after he couldn't join the Venezuelan national team due to visa issues. The wide man covers both flanks as a wing-back, and his unexplained absence leaves Bryan Ramirez and Alvas Powell as the available alternatives across the defensive flanks. Until further explanation is provided by the club, the regular starter will be at risk of facing a longer absence.

Remains available for club Echenique will remain with FC Cincinnati during the international window after visa issues prevented him from joining Venezuela for its friendlies in Asia, Laurel Pfahler reports.

Impact Echenique will not join Venezuela for its three friendlies in Asia because of visa issues, and he remains with FC Cincinnati instead. It is a welcome outcome for Cincinnati, who keep a player that has started 10 straight games and can operate on either flank at wing-back.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned by Venezuela Echenique has been called up by Venezuela for the upcoming international break between September and October.

Impact Cincinnati will be very depleted offensively for Saturday's game against Montreal, as both Echenique and Kevin Denkey have been called up by their respective nations. However, Echenique will only miss the match against Montreal, and he should be available for selection against Atlanta United on Oct. 10.

Over his eight appearances in that period, he has scored one goal and provided two assists.

APRIL 19 • ROTOWIRE

Starts against Miami Echenique (knee) is in the starting XI for Sunday's clash versus Inter Miami.

Impact Echenique was questionable after getting hurt while on international duty with Venezuela, but the injury turned out to be a minor issue. Thus, the wide player should be active in the conference semifinal match, looking to increase his current totals of one goal and one assist in 11 games. His availability also means that both Yuya Kubo and Luca Orellano may only see action as substitutes in the weekend's match.

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Considered day-to-day Echenique (knee) is day-to-day and could be an option to face Inter Miami on Sunday, Laurel Pfahler reports.

Impact Echenique was holding his knee before asking for a substitution in the 30th minute of Tuesday's defeat against Canada. The midfielder will likely be assessed once back in Cincinnati but is already a doubt for Sunday's playoff clash against Inter Miami. This is a big blow for Cincy since he has been an undisputed starter since mid August, and if he had to miss the game, a change will have to be made in the lineup with Yuya Kubo likely taking his spot.
