Hiroki Ito Resumes Training After Six-Week Injury Layoff
Bayern Munich defender Hiroki Ito has returned to rehabilitation training under the supervision of the club's physiotherapists, marking his first appearance since sustaining a metatarsal fracture six weeks ago.
Hiroki Ito, the Japanese defender for Bayern Munich, has reappeared at the club's training facilities after a six-week absence due to a metatarsal fracture. On Thursday, Ito was seen engaging in rehabilitation exercises under the guidance of Bayern's physiotherapy team, signaling a positive step in his recovery process.
Ito's injury occurred in late July during a friendly match, shortly after his €23.5 million transfer from VfB Stuttgart. Initially, he began rehabilitation in November, but a setback necessitated a second surgical procedure, delaying his return. This marks his first public appearance since the recurrence of his injury.
The 24-year-old defender was acquired to bolster Bayern's defensive options. Despite the challenging start to his tenure, Ito aims to make a strong comeback and contribute significantly to the team's success in the upcoming year.
