Earns red card in loss

Frederick was shown a straight red card while off the pitch in the final minutes of Saturday's 2-1 loss to FC Dallas.

Analysis: Frederick had subbed off in the 59th minute after a poor outing, but he was punished for an argument later in the game. He'll consequently be suspended for the next league clash versus San Diego, looking to reappear against St. Louis on July 25. While he serves his ban, his substitute Connor Ronan may move back into the starting lineup.

Scores opener in loss

Frederick scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Real Salt Lake.

Analysis: Frederick gave his team an early lead via close-range finish following a set piece in the seventh minute of Saturday's clash. He has shown promising qualities over the initial stretch of the campaign, totaling two goals and two assists in 12 matches played so far. He'll look to increase those numbers if he continues to feature in a central attacking midfield spot throughout the season.

Starting Wednesday

Frederick (leg) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's clash against Minnesota United.

Analysis: Frederick sat out the previous two games due to the injury, but he regained enough fitness to regain a major role against Minnesota. He's expected to join Connor Ronan in central midfield, providing cover while Hamzat Ojediran (suspension) and Joshua Atencio (concussion) are unavailable.

Sidelined with leg issue

Frederick is currently ruled out due to a leg injury, as reported by MLS on Friday.

Analysis: Frederick's injury is a setback for the Rapids, who had been relying on him for a variety of roles in midfield and attack. With Frederick out, Joshua Atencio will likely return to the starting lineup after serving suspension. Frederick's leg injury is a big concern, as he has played the full 90 minutes in six straight league contests.
