Sergino Dest back doing ball work & agility drills already after ACL surgery as USMNT star gives encouraging 'progress' report

The Netherlands-born player sustained a serious injury at the end of last season, ruling him out of action for several months and forcing him to miss the USMNT's Copa America campaign. After undergoing surgery on the issue, the right-back has stepped up his recovery by working out again.

Dest joined PSV on loan from Barcelona last season and was a key figure in their Eredivisie title triumph, but his season was cut short by injury, sparking fears that his hopes of joining the Eindhoven club on a permanent basis were over. However, the Dutch champions opted to sign him anyway, though he will be out for a significant chunk of the 2024-25 campaign.

The 23-year-old will continue to work on his fitness while PSV get ready to kick start their Eredivisie campaign with a match against RKC Waalwijk on Saturday.
