The European league season has commenced, with various leagues including the Premier League, LaLiga, and Ligue 1 kicking off. The U.S. men's national team players are participating in their respective clubs, and ESPN will track their progress leading up to the World Cup. Specifically, Dest is performing well at PSV, demonstrating a strong comeback from injury, which positively affects the national team's tactics. The Big Board will provide updates on player selections every two months as the countdown to the men's World Cup continues.
Dest has started the season on fire at PSV, scoring the game winner against Go Ahead Eagles in the Dutch Super Cup, and then finding the net again in this past weekend's 6-1 rout of Sparta Rotterdam. His return to form is fantastic news for U.S. manager Mauricio Pochettino, too.
Dest's ability to create the unexpected from right back had been a key part of the national team's attack, and his injury meant opponents could clamp down on other attacking threats such as Christian Pulisic.
