USMNT's Sergiño Dest issued update after injury put World Cup in doubt

[ASFN Admin]

The World Cup in the U.S., Canada and Mexico kicks off in just 95 days, but the U.S. men's national team will be monitoring the health of one of their key players.

In Saturday's match with his club team PSV Eindhoven, Sergiño Dest went down with what appeared to be a significant hamstring injury. He needed help getting off the field and looked likely to miss considerable time.

Dest had missed a year of action after an ACL tear in 2024, but the presumed USMNT starter took to Instagram on Sunday with a more optimistic outlook for this hamstring injury. He acknowledged that he will miss some time, but he doesn't think it will be a season-ending injury for PSV. That would be great news for his World Cup status.

I’m out for a little while to do what I love the most! But one thing for sure this is NOT the end of the season! I’ll do everything in my power to make sure that i’m coming back asap on the right timing! Thanks for the messages won’t let you guys down!

Should Dest be able to recover in time for the World Cup, he would almost certainly be a starter for Mauricio Pochettino's final squad. This injury, though, will force Dest to miss the March international window, which includes USMNT friendlies against Belgium and Portugal.
