PSV has announced that defender Sergiño Dest will be out for an “extended period” with what appears to be a serious knee injury.
The U.S. national team defender suffered the injury in training on Saturday, and the early signs are clearly not good.
“Sergiño Dest suffered what appears to be a serious knee injury during Saturday’s training session,” a club statement said.
“How long the winger will be sidelined is still being investigated. That it will be an extended period is almost certain.”
Though the length of Dest’s absence is not yet known, the language in PSV’s statement immediately makes him a major doubt for the Copa América.
The USMNT kicks off the tournament in just two months when it faces Bolivia on June 23. Dest was almost certain to start at right back for the USMNT at the intercontinental tournament.
