Bayern Munich have confirmed that summer signing Hiroki Itō has undergone another surgical procedure on his metatarsal, extending his time away from the pitch. The club announced that the surgery took place today and was a necessary step to aid the Japanese defender’s recovery from an earlier injury.
Itō, who joined Bayern in the summer transfer window, has faced ongoing challenges with his metatarsal since his arrival, leading to multiple stints on the sidelines. Bayern’s medical team assessed the defender’s condition following his initial surgery, ultimately deciding that a follow-up operation would best support his full recovery.
This setback will prevent Itō from featuring in Bayern’s upcoming fixtures, though the club has not provided a specific timeline for his return. Itō’s absence adds to Bayern’s defensive concerns as they continue competing in both Bundesliga and Champions League fixtures.
