Finally on scoresheet Dest provided one assist on three chances created and sent in six crosses (two accurate) during Sunday's 3-0 win over Levante.
Impact Dest finally got on the score sheet after going through what has been a very up-and-down season. The defender has only create chances in three league matches, and has failed to link up with his, admittedly injury-ridden, forwards. Dest is an inconsistent option, and will be tested Wednesday, away to Benfica.

Busy in draw Dest made three tackles and sent in three inaccurate crosses during Thursday's scoreless draw with Cadiz.
Impact Dest had plenty to do on both sides of the ball and made the most of the space afforded to him to get forward. The defender also did well behind the ball, keeping the match scoreless. Next up for Dest is a Sunday clash with Levante.

Racks up 16 crosses Dest created three chances from 16 crosses (one accurate) and took two shots (one on goal) during Monday's 1-1 draw with Granada.
Impact Dest had an outsized role in generating chances but it didn't result in much as only one goal was scored for either team. The benefit of his showing is that he could receive a bigger role with more consistency because of this, though his current averages this season aren't nearly as promising. Up next is a trip to Cadiz, which have conceded eight goals in their first five matches.

Doug McIntyre checks all the data points to evaluate the state of the USMNT heading into World Cup qualifiers next month.SEPTEMBER 14, 2021
Declared fully fit Dest (ankle) has been declared fully fit ahead of Tuesday's match against Bayern Munich.
Impact Dest reportedly missed Monday's training session, but it appears he's good to go Tuesday. Given the injury, it's hard to see him starting, but if he's fully fit, there's a chance he'll get the call in a huge spot against Bayern.

Likely out for UCL match Dest (ankle) missed Monday's training session is all but certain to miss Tuesday's UCL match against Bayern Munich, according to Javier Miguel of AS.
Impact Dest still had a small chance to play if he was active in training, but that hasn't been the case and he'll likely miss this visit from the Bavarians, plus another match or two if he's still unfit. In his place, Oscar Mingueza may be the top option at right-back if Sergi Roberto (rib) is considered more of a midfielder.

Could miss two weeks Dest (sprained ankle) could miss the next two weeks, according to Javier Miguel of AS.
Impact Dest's injury was already confirmed by his club Wednesday and this prognosis offers a better idea as to when he could return. If this schedule holds true, Dest is likely to miss the Sept 14 UCL match against Bayern Munich as well as Saturday's trip to Sevilla, at the least. In his absence, Oscar Mingueza and Sergi Roberto (rib) are the other options at right-back.

Out against Honduras Dest (sprained ankle) will miss Wednesday's match against Honduras, it was announced Tuesday.
Impact Dest will now focus on his recovery ahead of the next league match at Sevilla. With Emerson already sold to Tottenham and Sergi Roberto somewhat injury prone, Dest's only competition at right-back should come from Oscar Mingueza for now.

Dealing with ankle sprain Dest suffered a sprained ankle during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Canada, according to manager Gregg Berhalter.
Impact It seems likely that Dest will miss or be extremely doubtful for Wednesday's match against Honduras, though reports are optimistic he'll be ready by Saturday's trip to Sevilla for his club side.

Logs three crosses in draw Dest put one shot on target and provided three crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Athletic Club.
Impact Dest has started each of the first two games this season amid heavy competition for his place at right-back.

Up next is a visit from Getafe.
