Likely just an oversight considering he was injured at the start of last season. Actually helps reinforce the point further that we're clearly better off now..
Here is the team from the first game last season:
Likely our starting line up against Leeds will be
Pickford (same)
O'Brien (improvement) - Tarkowski(same) - Branthwaite (improvement) - Mykolenko (same)
Gana(Same) - KDH (Improvement)
McNeil...
Makes it nigh on impossible to double up on both and not get completely pulled out of shape, but needs an eye for passing from central midfield - enter KDH and Garner.
