'It was a pleasure having him' - Steve Cherundolo confirms LAFC won’t extend Javairo Dilrosun's loan from Club America

LAFC manager Steve Cherundolo has confirmed that the club will not be extending Javairô Dilrosun’s loan from Club América, meaning the Dutch winger will now return to Mexico - though he’s not in André Jardine’s plans and is expected to be moved on.

After the final whistle, Cherundolo discussed Dilrosun’s spell at the club.

“It was a pleasure having him. He’s got about an hour left with us before he becomes an opponent,” said the LAFC head coach.

Dilrosun joined LAFC earlier this year to reinforce the squad ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup. He featured in six MLS matches and played in LAFC’s 1–0 loss to the Portland Timbers on Friday after the club extended his loan by a single day to make him available for the game.

The 27-year-old is now set to return to Club América, which is actively looking to offload him. The club is also hoping to free up a non-homegrown player slot to bring in reinforcements in that position.

LAFC will debut in the Leagues Cup next Tuesday when they take on Mazatlán FC.
