Sergino Dest ‘could miss NINE MONTHS’ with knee injury suffered in PSV training… as
Sergino Dest could miss up to nine months with a knee injury, according to a new report, as a potential timetable for the USA defender has been revealed.
Dest, a right-back for Barcelona who’s played this season on loan with PSV, confirmed the injury himself on Instagram while PSV acknowledged he would be out for an ‘extended period.’
And according to The Athletic, that absence could run all the way into early 2025, with the outlet reporting the nine-month timeline on Monday night.
The Athletic also said that PSV want to make Dest’s loan move permanent, as the defender had contributed seven assists in 37 games this season.
Dest’s injury will see him miss the Copa America, which the US men’s national team will compete in this summer.
