How should Gonzalo Pineda manage Josef Martinez’s minutes through the remainder of the regular season?

Today I want to expound on a topic touched on briefly in yesterday’s State of Play, which is how difficult it will be for Gonzalo Pineda to appropriately manage Josef Martinez’s minutes in the team’s six remaining regular season matches.

This is obviously a topic worthy of discussion given Martinez’s current health status. He’s listed by the club as day-to-day with a hamstring injury suffered in the second half against Montreal a week-and-a-half ago, but it seems increasingly unlikely that he’ll be ready to join the team against Toronto given the reporting from the training ground yesterday.
