In summer, FC Bayern Hiroki ITō from Stuttgart. But an injury put him out of action for a long time. Now he’s finally fit again.
Bavaria’s coach Vincent Kompany can rely on Hiroki ITō in the game of his team at Celtic Glasgow. The Japanese was on Tuesday on Tuesday with the team towards Scottish metropolis, where Bayern completed the first leg in the intermediate round of the Champions League on Wednesday (from 9 p.m. in the live ticker at T-online).
At his first squadramination, ITō may be his first competitive game for the German record champions. The 25-year-old switched from VfB Stuttgart to Munich in summer. Bayern transferred 23.5 million euros to the Swabians.
In the preparation, the bad news for the defender: at the preparatory game in Düren, he was seriously injured. ITō contracted a breakdown, had to be operated on twice. He was on the program for over half a year of rehab for him before returning to team training last week – and earned his squad square in the following days.
It is questionable whether Kompany really uses Celtic directly on ITō. The national player of his country will probably have to leave Minjae-Kim and Dayot Upamecano to lead in the defense center.
