...hasn't featured at all yet in pre-season. Does anyone know why? Is he injured? Would seem strange to pick Chris Martin in midfield (vs Celtic 2nd half) over him. Apologies if this has already been mentioned!

he is behind the others in terms of fitness. he is still coming back from a very serious injury and a bit like pilkington last season, its a case of being patient and making sure all is fine with the injury. nothing to worry about - i would think he'll begin to feature soon but won't be playing regularly just yet 
A cruciate ligament injury like his is obviously very serious. Normally takes 9 months to recover from the first time- which would put his return to full training (not match fitness) in late August.
Footballers, with the best physios, can recover quicker, but it makes no sense to rush them if you can afford to wait (for example, Owen never really recovered properly after being rushed back to action).
I can't see him being able to play a full match until late September tbh

yes, i think i read that too.i tend to agree with rob though that we probably won't see him starting matches until mid-september time
As an aside. what about Fox? I haven't looked at the line ups for Berlin so don't know if he played any part but he certainly wasn;t there last night.
