USMNT suffer devastating blow as Sergino Dest may miss Copa America after being ruled out for 'extended period' with serious injury

Eredivisie

PSV Eindhoven

Sparta Rotterdam

The 23-year-old defender has rediscovered his professional spark this season during a loan spell in Eindhoven. Having been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/third-time-lucky-barcelona-reprieve-usmnt-star-sergino-dest-psv-loan-xavi-departure/blt4eb53b9f12be11a7" target="_blank">deemed surplus to requirements at Barcelona</a>, Netherlands-born Dest has thrived back in his homeland.

WHAT HAPPENED?

He formed part of the United States squad that savoured another CONCACAF Nations League triumph in March and would have been confident of making Gregg Berhalter’s plans for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/like-playing-euros-africa-sergino-dest-united-states-hosting-2024-copa-america-doesnt-make-sense-attack-tournament-organisers/blt8b888c6167e611fb" target="_blank">a Copa America event that will be staged on U.S. soil from June 20</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Dest has, however, picked up a knee problem that has cast doubt over his immediate future with club and country. A statement on PSV’s <a href="https://www.psv.nl/en/media/artikel/nieuws-sergino-dest-aan-de-kant-door-knieblessure " target="_blank">official website</a> reads: “Sergino Dest suffered what appears to be a serious knee injury during Saturday's training session. How long the winger will be sidelined is still being investigated. That it will be an extended period is almost certain. The 23-year-old Sergino has been rented from FC Barcelona since August 2023. Since then he grew to become an important force for Peter Bosz. The American international has played 37 official matches for PSV so far. In those, he scored two goals and was the originator of seven goals.”

WHAT PSV SAID

Dest has earned 33 caps for the United States, having <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/netherlands-sergino-dest-explains-usmnt-boyhood-dream-international-allegiance/blt774f63912b8267bb" target="_blank">pledged allegiance to them instead of the land of his birth</a>. This summer promises to be a big one for him even if the Copa America is sat out, with a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-star-sergino-dest-barcelona-future-clear-transfer-message/blt0d4ec6ba34859fe9" target="_blank">permanent transfer away from Barcelona expected to be completed</a>.
