Know everything about Sergino Dest, his injury update, news and report during USMNT’s USA vs Jamaica FIFA World Cup qualifier
USMNT and Barcelona right-back Sergino Dest sustained the second consecutive injury playing for the national team. He was representing his national team in the WC qualifiers match against Jamaica before leaving the pitch.
USMNT won the game by 2-0, but now their alarm is on because they might lose their key player Dest for the next two games. Moreover, there is no official statement coming from the management but the visuals say, it may be a hamstring injury, which is enough to keep the star away for at least two weeks.
So, here are all the details about Sergino Dest injury including his return date.
Sergino Dest Injury Update, News And Report: Know The Possible Return Date
Dest started the game against Jamaica as a right back. Also, he dominated the right flank with his high pressings and long runs. The efforts resulted in a goal when Dest sent a sweet cross in the box for Ricardo Pepi to open the deadlock in the 49th minute. In the 76th minute, after making a wild run on the right once again, he felt some discomfort and immediately called for the medical team. Later on, Shaq Moore replaced him and played the rest of the minutes.

The injury seems to be a pull of the hamstring which is enough to keep him 2-3 weeks away from football. This is not very good news for both Barcelona and USMNT as the Americans have to play two more World Cup qualifiers, this month.
This is the second time Dest has met an injury on his international duty. Last time, in a game against Canada, he sustained a muscular injury which caused him for 2 weeks. Furthermore, he missed two games for Barcelona, which the Catalans failed to win.
This means, how important is Dest for both the USMNT and Barcelona. His injury might create big trouble for Koeman as the manager is already in pressure of getting sacked. Dest might return in the starting matches of Barcelona if it is a minor injury. Or else, he will be missing at least 3-4 weeks of football.
