Set to return in summer Quinones (knee) has been limited to practice as he continues to work on his fitness and form, with a possible return in the summer, reports the Keeping Tabs Podcast.

Impact Quinones has not played over a year and a half after a major knee injury that came with several setbacks. He will likely play some matches with the reserves once fit to play in a match before being an option with the senior side, as the club is in no rush in his return following his long journey to recovery.

Season over Quinones (knee) is out for the season due to a knee injury, Houston announced.

Impact Quinones suffered the injury with Colombia in the U23 Olympic qualifiers and now it's confirmed to be a season-ending knee injury. This obviously the worst possible scenario for the forward who played a big role in 2023 and seemed set to take a step forward in 2024. Quinones will hope to return for the 2025 pre-season. Ivan Franco could play a larger role with Quinones done for the year.

Suffers nasty leg injury Quinones suffered what appeared to be a serious leg injury while representing Colombia in the U23 Olympic Qualifiers on Thursday, and head coach Ben Olsen said the team will wait t...

Impact Quinones jumped in midfield to win a header during Thursday's loss to Bolivia, but he landed awkwardly on his leg and was unable to get back on his own feet. The injury looked gruesome, and it wouldn't be surprising if the explosive winger is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Quinones recorded four goals and one assist across 33 appearances for Houston in 2023.

FEBRUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Takes major role Quinones scored four times and assisted once in 33 appearances in 2023.

Impact Quinones played a crucial role in the attack during the 2023 season. The forward was excellent throughout and finished the season with a new career-high in every single category. The forward will be back in a big role on the left wing in 2024, where he will hope to continue this strong development.

DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Three shots in win Quinones had three shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Quinones wasn't very active against Kansas City, only registering three shots and one tackle in the win. The forward is yet to miss a start in the playoffs, notching eight shots, five chances created and six crosses in those four appearances.

Scores brace versus Colorado Quinones scored two goals to go with five shots (four on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 5-1 victory over Colorado Rapids.

Impact Quinones scored Houston's first and third goals in the third and 28th minutes to help them earn the home win. The forward now has four goals in the season, to go with one assist. He also led his side in shots during the match.

Impact Quinones created three chances Wednesday, his most since July 16 at Colorado Rapids. He also took his first four corners of the season and recorded four crosses (two accurate) as a result. He was subbed off in the 86th minute for Brad Smith.

OCTOBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores beauty in win Quinones scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Monday's 5-0 win versus Portland Timbers.

Impact Quinones notched the Dynamo's first goal in open play when he smashed a beautiful volley into the back of the net for his second goal of the season. Even with Adalberto Carrasquilla making a return to the starting 11, Quinones still was given the start and shined on his birthday by notching the early goal. The 21-year-old has started the last nine games but with the return of Carrasquilla, he may be slotted to return to the bench soon. However, with Sunday's performance he may be given another chance to prove his worth next match against Real Salt Lake.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Three shots in draw Quinones had three shots (one on target) and three chances created in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Colorado Rapids. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 46th minute.

Impact Quinones has started the last eight matches in a row, but has only recorded a goal and an assist in that span. He has only been given the start with Adalberto Carrasquilla still out on international duty with Panama. Once he returns, the winger will likely return to the bench after failing to produce much for the team in Carrasquilla's absence, recording only 13 tackles (12 won) and six chances created in the last eight games.

JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Assists in victory Quinones assisted once to go with two crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Thursday's 4-1 win over San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Quinones assisted Corey Bird in the 5th minute. He recorded two tackles and one interception and also completed one dribble. He has one goal and one assist in five starts (13 appearances) this season. He has also been sent off once. He was substituted in the 62nd minute by Luis Caicedo.

Scores goal, picks up knock Quinones was subbed off due to injury in the 63rd minute of Sunday's 4-0 victory against Los Angeles Football Club. He scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cro...

Impact Quinones scored the opener in the 11th minute with a beautiful shot from the edge of the box, but he was fortunate since a defender deflected his shot. However, Quinones had to leave the game in the second half, and his presence in Wednesday's back-to-back game against LAFC is uncertain. The speedy winger has made just three starts this season, so even if he's healthy, he shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside.

JUNE 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Eligible to return from suspension Quinones will be available for selection in next weekend's clash against LAFC after serving a red card suspension.

Impact Quinones missed Saturday's loss to St. Louis after getting sent off against the Whitecaps in the previous match, but he should be back on the bench to face LAFC next weekend as he's started just two of his 10 league appearances this season.

JUNE 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Quinones played just six minutes of Wednesday's match after subbing on and was immediately sent off for violent conduct. He will serve a suspension and will not be available for Saturday's match against St. Louis City F.C. He's only made two starts in 10 appearances, totaling just 12crosses (one accurate) and six tackles (four won).

JUNE 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

First start of season Quinones recorded two crosses (zero accurate) and two tackles in Sunday's 1-0 win against New York City FC.

Impact With Adalberto Carrasquilla out on international duty, Quinones got his first start of the season and had a productive day, totaling two crosses and two tackles. He will likely return back to the bench Saturday, with Carrasquilla expected to be back. The 20-year-old will be the first option of depth of the bench in the midfield, but is just shy of a starting role over the other veterans on the team.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes shot in season finale Quinones subbed into the Decision Day match against Los Angeles in the 77th minute and he took a shot on target in the 3-1 defeat.

Impact Quinones made eight appearances off the bench for the Dynamo after arriving from Colombian side Once Caldas in the summer. The 20-year-old will have another half season or so with the club in 2023 before his loan runs out in July.
