Sergino Dest Injury Update, News And Return Date: Barcelona Fall Into More Trouble
This international break has given trouble to many of the clubs. Players like Mbappe, Reus, Reyna, and many other returned to their camp after meeting an injury. Barcelona is another club, to get added to the list of clubs affected by this international break. Dest injury will surely be a concern for Koeman as he doesn’t have a solid backup for the right.
If Dest takes time to recover, then it will be Sergio Roberto and Óscar Mingueza who will be filling his space. As we all know, there are not proper right-backs but have played in this position previously. Furthermore, Dest’s ankle injury seems to be serious and he might miss 2-3 games for the Catalans.
Dest appeared in all three matches for Barcelona this season. Moreover, last season he was the main man for Barca on the right as he featured in 30 games. He scored 2 goals and assisted one for the Catalans last season. However, Dest has said that if given extra time, he might recover soon and will be back for the game against Bayern Munich.
Barcelona will be facing Bayern first time after the 8-2 humiliation. Koeman will surely be planning revenge against the Germans. Dest became one of Koeman’s favorite players since his arrival. Last season he missed only five games for Barcelona due to injury.
Currently, Ousmane Dembélé and Sergio Aguero are Barcelona players other than Dest who are injured. The new no.10 Ansu Fati is expected to be fit and will return for the game against Bayern Munich.
