Hertha Berlin's John Brooks may be rested after next international break
John Brooks played every minute for United States during the international break.Hertha Berlin coach Pal Dardai is considering resting United States defender John Brooks after the next international break.
Brooks, 23, made his seventh Bundesliga start for Hertha in the 0-0 draw at Augsburg on Saturday, only a few days after returning from his trip to the U.S., in which he played the full game as Jurgen Klinsmann's side lost to Mexico and Costa Rica.
Dardai had contemplated giving the defender a break at Augsburg, but then opted to play him in order to give his side a height advantage at set-pieces.
