Sergino Dest is expected to miss Tuesday’s Champions League opener against Bayern Munich after suffering a sprained ankle on international duty with the USMNT.
Barcelona offered an update on the right-back’s fitness on Wednesday.
“Tests conducted this Wednesday by the FC Barcelona Medical Services have revealed that Sergiño Dest has sprained his right ankle. He picked up the injury playing for the United States against Canada in Nashville last September 5 and is currently unfit to play.”
It had initially been reported that Dest’s injury wasn’t too serious but it’s now being claimed he will not be fit enough to play against Bayern.
