Bayern Munich are facing another injury blow. Hiroki Ito's hamstring issue has sidelined him again, with the centre-back set to miss “two to three weeks.”
Christoph Freund, Bayern's sporting director, confirmed Ito's latest setback, ruling him out of Saturday's clash with Borussia Dortmund and casting doubt on his participation in the Champions League tie with Atalanta in March.
Hiroki Ito, 26, has struggled with injuries since joining Bayern Munich from Stuttgart in 2024.
ℹ️ Hiroki Ito will be out for the time being.

Hiroki Ito's injury woes continue. The Bayern Munich defender fractured a bone in his foot last season, playing just six Bundesliga games, and missed the first 10 games this campaign with another foot injury.
Ito, who's had 26 caps for Japan, scoring once, is really hoping to get some consistent playing time.
