US defender Sergiño Dest comes off with apparent hamstring injury in PSV win
Dest's left hamstring injury during PSV's 2-1 win against AZ Alkmaar raises doubts about his participation in U.S. friendlies; PSV's Ricardo Pepi scored the winner.
- On Saturday, United States defender Sergiño Dest limped off with an apparent hamstring during PSV Eindhoven's 2-1 win, leaving the field with medical assistance and unable to put weight on his left leg.
- Chasing AZ's Wouter Goes, Dest grabbed his left hamstring after tumbling in his own penalty area about 55 minutes into the match, screaming in pain on the grass.
- After Dest left, PSV teammate and fellow U.S. international Ricardo Pepi scored the winner late in the match and said, `I am very happy that I was able to play 90 minutes and also scored`.
- It is unclear how long Dest could miss, and he seems unlikely for the friendlies later this month; the U.S. hosts Belgium on March 28 and Portugal on April 1 in Atlanta before Mauricio Pochettino names his World Cup squad.
- Dest was sidelined for nearly 11 months after an April 2024 ACL tear; if unavailable for the 2026 World Cup, Juventus defender Tim Weah, Alex Freeman, and Joe Scally could replace him.
