United States international defender Sergiño Dest suffered a knee injury during a training session with PSV Eindhoven, raising concerns about his participation in the upcoming Copa America tournament. Dest, who is currently on loan from Barcelona to PSV, has been a key player in their successful campaign in the Eredivisie, where they are leading the league standings with a comfortable nine-point gap over Feyenoord with four games remaining.
The injury, described as 'serious' in a statement released by PSV, is expected to sideline Dest for an extended period. The exact nature and severity of the injury are still under evaluation by medical professionals. This setback is likely to rule Dest out for the remainder of the season, depriving PSV of his contributions as they aim to secure the league title.
Since joining PSV on loan, Dest has featured in 37 matches, showcasing his versatility and skill by scoring two goals and providing seven assists. His impressive performances had positioned him for a potential permanent transfer to the club at the end of the season, but the injury has now cast doubt on his future plans.
The 23-year-old defender's absence will be keenly felt by both PSV and the United States national team, as they prepare for important competitions in the coming months. Dest's recovery timeline and rehabilitation process will be closely monitored by fans and stakeholders, hoping for a swift return to full fitness and form.
