Hiroki Ito Returns to Full Bayern Training, Remains Out for Leverkusen

The club views the session as a rehab milestone after two foot surgeries that have curtailed his Bayern career to eight matches.

Overview

  • Ito trained with the first team on Friday, completing the final session ahead of the Bayer Leverkusen fixture, according to the club.
  • A competitive appearance against Leverkusen has been ruled out as too soon as Bayern ease him back.
  • The defender’s layoff followed a second metatarsal fracture in late March against FC St. Pauli that required two operations.
  • Since joining from VfB Stuttgart in 2024, Ito has managed eight competitive games and is under contract through 2028 with expectations of a key defensive role.
  • Bayern continue to handle multiple absences, with Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies still out and Davies reported to be progressing well toward a return.
