April 26, (THEWILL) – Sergino Dest suffered a hamstring injury in Barcelona’s loss to Rayo Vallecano on Sunday and could miss the remainder of the season.
Due to injury received in the first half of a 1-0 loss at Camp Nou, the United States international was replaced by Clement Lenglet at halftime and may have seen his last action for this campaign.
Dest was put through tests and Barcelona revealed the full-back had damaged his right hamstring, though no timetable for his return was given.
According to a statement from the club: “Tests carried out on Sergino Dest have confirmed that the player has injured the semitendinosus muscle in his right hamstring.
“The player is unavailable for selection and his recovery will dictate his return.”
With Barca’s third consecutive home defeat, Real Madrid now just needs a point from their final five games to win La Liga.
On Saturday, the Blaugrana will visit Real Betis, the Copa del Rey winners.
