Overview
- Dest left PSV’s 2-1 win over AZ on March 7 clutching his left hamstring and was substituted in the 57th minute after he was unable to put weight on his leg.
- PSV said medical exams showed an upper‑leg injury and that he will be unavailable for the coming period, with further tests to determine the timeframe.
- He appears likely to miss U.S. friendlies against Belgium on March 28 and Portugal on April 1 in Atlanta, the last camp before a late‑May World Cup roster announcement.
- Dest posted that he is out for a little while and insisted this is not the end of his season as he targets a return before PSV’s campaign concludes.
- The setback follows his April 2024 ACL tear and yearlong recovery, and potential USMNT right‑back alternatives cited include Tim Weah, Alex Freeman and Joe Scally.
