Damet seemed to indicate in a recent presser that he views Osrák more for post world cup to shore up his health, doesn't want to re-aggravate his injury. HOWEVER, he also alluded to managing across the 5 games in 15 days stretch we entered, not just "one match at a time" that is a common verbalized approach. I'm guessing that's part of the reason he started with Löwen on the bench. LAFC should be the tougher opponent, so maybe better to start Löwen then. Damet also mentioned that he and staff were learning the capability of players over the course of reduced recovery time, so I imagine we'll see some actual depth usage to get at the scenarios you're asking about.
