[Saba Sports News] Earlier this week, Bayern Munich officially announced that defender Ito Hiroki will undergo foot surgery again. According to German media reports, Ito is unlikely to play this year. Ito suffered a metatarsal fracture in a pre-season match at the end of July and subsequently underwent surgery. Bayern Munich stated this week that Ito recently had another foot surgery and will need to rest temporarily, but did not disclose the specific duration of his absence. Reports indicate that the Japanese defender will not play for Bayern Munich this year. So far, Ito has not made an appearance for Bayern Munich in official matches. His continued absence is undoubtedly a huge loss for Bayern Munich. The young defender is considered an important part of Bayern’s future, and his injury not only affects the team’s defensive setup but also impacts the depth of the squad. It remains to be seen how Bayern Munich fans feel about Ito’s situation.
