USMNT star Sergino Dest provides update following ACL surgery as PSV defender leaves hospital in a wheelchair

The Barcelona loanee had been a hit with the Dutch giants during his loan spell. However, late last month, the<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-devastating-blow-sergino-dest-miss-copa-america-ruled-out-extended-period-serious-injury/blt07118ec68d0238ad" target="_blank"> USMNT star suffered a knee injury during a training session</a> and was later <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/worst-case-scenario-sergino-dest-usmnt-barcelona-loanee-learns-extent-knee-injury-copa-america-dreams-dashed/bltc2c464fff45efa6a#cseeaf8c4b457391e7" target="_blank">confirmed to have torn his ACL</a>. Having undergone surgery, the 23-year-old has provided an update on Instagram.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Dest posted an Instagram story of him leaving the hospital in a wheelchair post-surgery and he captioned the video: "Surgery went well! Thank GOD! Now it's time to look forward."<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt96847658a9b5e1db/Screenshot_2024-05-12_at_14-24-54_Watch_this_story_by_Sergin%CC%83o_Dest_on_Instagram_before_it_disappears.png?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt96847658a9b5e1db/Screenshot_2024-05-12_at_14-24-54_Watch_this_story_by_Sergin%CC%83o_Dest_on_Instagram_before_it_disappears.png?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt96847658a9b5e1db/Screenshot_2024-05-12_at_14-24-54_Watch_this_story_by_Sergin%CC%83o_Dest_on_Instagram_before_it_disappears.png?format=jpg" alt="Sergino Dest Instagram" data-source="" data-copyright="Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blt96847658a9b5e1db;width:486;height:865"></picture>

WHAT DEST SAID

Dest looked set to attract an offer from PSV for a permanent move away from Barcelona, however, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/psv-eindhoven-decide-against-signing-usmnt-sergino-dest-permanently-acl-injury/bltb7c2c7555e23ac8f" target="_self">the injury has now thrown those plans into disarray</a> as the USMNT defender is unlikely to return to action at least until the latter parts of the year. The injury has also ruled out <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/usmnt-star-sergino-dest-breaks-silence-acl-blow-ruled-out-copa-america-outlines-recovery-plan-psv-transfer/bltbed8adb6768e1d23#csbf567deb1924833f" target="_blank">Dest's chances of appearing in the Copa America</a> in the United States with Gregg Berhalter's USMNT side.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The USMNT star will now begin his rehabilitation program and will return to Barcelona to continue his recovery with his PSV loan deal set to expire in June. It is now likely that Dest will remain with Barcelona next season while he continues his return to full fitness.
