Barcelona full-back Sergino Dest

Barcelona's American defender Sergino Dest has been sidelined because of a hamstring injury, the Spanish club said Monday.

Dest injured his right hamstring in the first half of Barcelona's 1-0 home loss to Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish league on Sunday.

The club said tests confirmed the injury and it was unclear whether the 21-year-old right-back will be able to return before the end of the season.

Dest has lost his place as a starter after the arrival of veteran Brazilian right-back Dani Alves.
