Hertha Berlin have no issue with the United States Soccer Federation over the treatment of defender John Brooks, the club's sporting executive Michael Preetz has said.
Despite receiving a knock in the Bundesliga match against Ingolstadt, Brooks travelled to the join the U.S. national team as they prepared for their World Cup qualifier in Guatemala, where he didn't play.
However, because of a knee injury, he returned to his home town of Berlin at the weekend.

The Bundesliga club last week questioned the handling of Brooks while he was with the U.S. team. But the USSF insisted any assertion of improper treatment was inaccurate.
"He returned to Hertha in better condition than he left in," a national team spokesman told ESPN FC on Tuesday.
And, on Wednesday, the German club and the USSF resolved their problems in a phone conversation between the club's sporting director Michael Preetz and U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
"Jurgen Klinsmann called me on Wednesday," Preetz told local paper BZ. "We sorted out everything. Both sides would have loved to have a Brooks who was fit to play. But there is no row between Klinsmann or the USSF and us."
Although an MRI scan showed he sustained no major injury, the Hertha BSC defender's run of 16 consecutive league games could come to an end on Sunday when the third-ranked capital club visits fifth-placed Borussia Monchengladbach.
