U.S. men’s national team manager Mauricio Pochettino surely breathed a sigh of relief when he saw defender Sergiño Dest play his first match in nearly two months on Saturday.
Dest came off the bench in PSV Eindhoven’s 2–2 draw with Ajax, logging 30 minutes in his first appearance since March 7, when he sustained a hamstring injury. The issue kept him out of action while his club clinched its third consecutive Eredivisie title and his country played international friendlies against Belgium and Portugal.
