When will Sergiño Dest return from injury?
The United States international suffered a hamstring injury in mid-March and he has missed four consecutive games across all competitions.
Sergiño Dest suffered a hamstring injury during Barcelona’s 2-1 win against Galatasaray for the second leg of the round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League last month. The United States international started the game, but had to be replaced in the 56th minute.

“Emotional moment to be able to play my first ever World Cup! A dream come true! As a kid, I always enjoyed watching the World Cup and now to represent the USA in the World Cup makes me so proud! I can’t wait to get started and give everything for this country.”
