No Jurgen Klinsmann row over John Brooks - Hertha Berlin

Hertha Berlin have "no row" with the United States Soccer Federation, the club's sporting executive Michael Preetz has said after a phone call with USMNT head coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

Defender John Brooks had cut short his trip to play for the United States national team because of a knee injury.

Brooks, 23, returned to his hometown Berlin this past weekend, following a trip to the United States to play for their national team.

The Hertha BSC defender complained about knee problems, and -- although an MRI scan showed he sustained no major injury -- his run of 16 consecutive league games could come to an end on Sunday when the third-ranked capital club visits fifth-placed Borussia Monchengladbach.
