Dest's words echo those of PSV coach Peter Bosz, who said earlier this month that he expected the defender to return before the season ends.
"His rehabilitation is going well," Bosz said.
PSV has already clinched the Eredivisie title for a third consecutive season. The Eindhoven club has four matches remaining on the campaign, which ends May 17.
Dest has scored two goals in 37 caps for the USMNT, starting all four matches at the 2022 World Cup. If healthy, he is expected to start again at the 2026 World Cup.
The USMNT begins the tournament on home soil with a match against Paraguay on June 12.
