Ito Hiroki, a Japanese defender from Bayern Munich, appeared at the training site. Attention is focusing on whether it can be a ray of light for Munich, which lacks central defenders, such as the possibility of Kim Min-jae's departure and Eric Dier's transfer.
Germany's Bild on the 22nd (Korea time) "Hiroki Ito appeared at the training ground for the first time since fracturing his ankle."It's the first return in four months since the surgery," he said. Hiroki Ito recently returned to the training ground after recovering from a broken metatarsal bone in his right foot in March.
For Munich, Hiroki Ito's return to training is a positive sign. However, caution is still needed. Hiroki Ito is struggling with continuous injuries. He has suffered three fractures in the back of his foot in a year. Bayern Munich also says it will proceed carefully step by step without rushing his rehabilitation. The team medical staff will check the condition of his feet at increasing training intensity.

Ito's return is expected to be in October this year. Ito played only eight games in all tournaments last season. He played 282 minutes. Ito joined Bayern Munich last year for a transfer fee of 23.5 million euros (about 38 billion won) from Stuttgart, the German Bundesliga.
It remains to be seen whether Ito can succeed in rehabilitation and play a role in Bayern Munich's defense. Currently, Munich's main central defenders are Kim Min-jae, Dayo Upamecano, and Jonatantha. Kim Min-jae is expected to leave the team. If Kim Min-jae goes out, Ito should fill the vacancy.
