Bayern Munich Confirms Hiroki Ito's Season-Ending Injury

Hiroki Ito's recurrent metatarsal fracture deepens Bayern's defensive crisis ahead of critical Bundesliga and Champions League matches.

Hiroki Ito has been officially diagnosed with a metatarsal fracture in his right foot, ruling him out for the remainder of the season.
The injury occurred during Bayern's 3-2 win over FC St. Pauli, with Ito reinjuring the same foot he had surgery on earlier this season.
Bayern Munich's defensive lineup is severely depleted, with Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano also sidelined by long-term injuries.
Coach Vincent Kompany has emphasized resilience and adaptability, stating the team must avoid excuses as they prepare for upcoming matches, including a Champions League quarterfinal against Inter Milan.
Sporting Director Max Eberl has expressed strong support for Ito, highlighting the club's commitment to his recovery and the collective effort required to navigate the injury crisis.
