United States right-back Sergino Dest has left Ajax's training camp in Qatar because he did "not feel comfortable", the Dutch club have said.

It comes amid rising political tensions between the US and Qatar's neighbour Iran.

Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani was killed at Baghdad airport in an air strike ordered by US president Donald Trump.

Iran retaliated by firing missiles at air bases housing US forces in Iraq.

On Saturday, US Soccer postponed a men's training camp in Qatar - which will host the 2022 World Cup - because of "developing tensions" in the region.

Dest, 19, was born in the Dutch city of Almere but has an American father and chose to represent the US in October. He has won three caps.

"Sergino Dest has asked if he could leave Ajax's training camp in Qatar," Ajax said in a statement. "He didn't feel comfortable. Ajax understands his request and has responded to it."

Dest will return to Amsterdam to train with Ajax's reserve team.

Yes oo! Who will blame him? Omo olomo! Make dem no use am as scape goat. The children of Trump wey order missile attacks no dey Iran

Crush Iran already, Trump.

American coward!

Qatar is also a potential Iran target because of US bases, but I doubt because Qatar is an ally of Iran in the middle East hence The blockade of Qatar by Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt and Bahrain

It's only the misinformed IPOBIAN miscreants that thinks Iran can't do jack. The average American like humble self knows that the real Iranian response is still coming and will come sooner or later. The average American is scared shitless, all these misinformed IPOBIAN fools bragging on Nairaland are nothing but the usual chest beaters. Even TRAMP is scared of Iran when the camera is turned off. Just ask the average American on the street of NY or any major US city and they will tell you the real feeling. This guy knows better to run than wait for the real eventual Iran response.

Good decision boy

They are all terrorists

They all love to kill and destroy

Jesus Christ himself has said it that there will be rumours of war...but there will be no war actually..so I sit back and relax knowing fully well Christ is the truth.

VERY WISE DEC ONLY WHO LIVES AROUND THAT AXIS CAN TELL HOW DANGEROUS ARE IRAN

THOSE SAYING TRASH HAVE NEVER BEEN THERE.

I AM NT PRAYING 4 WAR BT IF IT SHOULD START IRAN WILL SHOCK THE WORLD.

Not true. Iraq used to be their tiger then in the that region before USA turned them into rat in 2003.
