The Copa América this summer will not feature American defender Sergiño Dest, who has acknowledged he has ruptured his ACL and will miss a significant amount of time from the field.
On April 20, Dest sustained the injury while working out with PSV Eindhoven. At first, the club said it was a serious injury to the knee.
Dest, 23, will probably be sidelined for the remainder of the year due to a torn ACL, which he has already verified on social media.
“I want to give you an update on the injury myself,” Dest said. It hurt to hear the news that I had torn my ACL, and I will be sidelined for a while.
Dest, who has performed exceptionally well for PSV this season, is deeply hurt.
With a point this weekend to guarantee their 25th Dutch championship, the team is poised to win the Eredivisie.
Dest, who joined the team earlier this season on a loan from Barcelona, has been instrumental in that run.
This summer, PSV has the opportunity to sign Dest to a permanent contract, but that agreement must be approved by the player and the team.
Although Dest was anticipated to play a significant role for the USMNT in Copa América this summer, he will now be concentrating on his recuperation from this severe injury.
