Copa América

United States' Sergino Dest will miss the Copa America after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), with the defender confirming he will undergo surgery soon.

Dest, who has spent this season on loan at PSV Eindhoven from Barcelona, suffered the injury late last month while training with the Dutch club.

"Unfortunately I've torn my ACL, I will have an operation soon and will try to come back as soon as possible to my top level. It will be a difficult time for me," Dest said in a video posted on social media.

United States men’s national team fans received devastating news that star right back Sergiño Dest is expected to miss this summer’s Copa América after suffering a major knee injury.

PSV announced that Dest will miss the rest of the season with The Athletic reporting the American will be out nine months and might not return for a year.

The USWNT have dropped to their lowest-ever position in the official FIFA rankings following their participation and win in the Concacaf Women’s Gold Cup. 

The four-time World Cup champions now sit in fourth (2011.20 points), below France (2018.81), England (2021.41) and first-placed Spain (2085.96).

The USWNT will be facing off against CONMEBOL’s mighty Brazil in the W Gold Cup final.

After defeating Canada through a penalty shoot-out last Wednesday in the tournament’s semifinal, the U.S. women’s national team will be due to play the first-ever final in the history of the tournament against none other than Brazil.

Jordan Pefok hit the back of the net once again on Sunday, scoring the only goal in Borussia Monchengladbach’s 2-1 home loss vs. Augsburg in Matchday 18 of the Bundesliga.

The D.C. native has been having nothing short of an impressive start to his loan spell with The Foals, becoming one of the team’s top scorers with just a short amount of minutes on the pitch.

Brazil forward Neymar will not recover from knee surgery in time to play at next year's Copa America, national team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar said on Tuesday.

Brazil's top scorer underwent surgery last month after suffering a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus in his left knee on international duty in October.

Lasmar, who carried out the surgery, said the 31-year-old is not expected to be fit until August and they do not intend to take short cuts in the recovery process for him to play at the June 20-July 14 tournament in the United States.
