Bayern Munich's Hiroki Ito Out Indefinitely After Recurring Foot Injury

The defender's latest setback compounds Bayern's defensive issues as the team prepares for Bundesliga and Champions League challenges.

Hiroki Ito suffered a recurrence of a right metatarsal fracture during Bayern's 3-2 Bundesliga win over St. Pauli on Saturday.
The injury leaves Ito sidelined indefinitely, just weeks after his February return from the same issue sustained in July 2024.
Bayern Munich is grappling with a defensive shortage, with Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano also recently ruled out due to injuries.
Despite these setbacks, Bayern leads the Bundesliga by six points with seven matches remaining in the season.
The team faces Inter Milan in the Champions League quarterfinals on April 8, requiring strategic adjustments to its depleted defense.
