Hiroki Ito has thanked Bayern Munich fans for their support during his six-month rehabilitation
Hiroki Ito’s journey with Bayern Munich has been a disappointing one so far, although it is not the Japanese defender’s fault.
Ito joined from Stuttgart in the summer and had only played for Bayern for a few weeks before he was forced off with a fractured foot in his first friendly match for the club.
The initial forecast was dire, with him out until October, but things got worse when he suffered another injury and then another.
It would not take the defender until February to return, แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ so Ito’s return from injury in the Champions League against Celtic was a special occasion.
“Hiroki was really good for us in pre-season. It was a real shame he’s been out for so long, like Josip Stanišić. It’s also good that we never used that as an excuse.
Now they’re back and we feel we finally have breathing space in that area. We’ve now got more players with experience and quality, but it’s tough to judge his fitness. The impression in training has been good, but I can’t organise a last-minute friendly for them
The 25-year-old wrote a short, simple and heartfelt message on his Instagram after making his return.
“Thank you to everyone who supported me during these six months of rehabilitation. It’s time to start anew with Bayern Munich,” he said.
