Held by the modest amateur club of Düren which plays in the German fourth division (1-1), Bayern Munich had a difficult day this Sunday. Indeed, the Japanese defender Hiroki Ito (25 years old) who arrived this summer from Stuttgart was seriously injured.
Bavarian sporting director Max Eberl spoke in particular about a very long absence for Hiroki Ito after the match: “The metatarsal is probably broken. He will be out for a long time.» Shortly after the incident, Bayern Munich confirmed the Japanese player’s unavailability in an official statement. A major blow for the Bavarian club as well as for the 25-year-old player, who was signed for 23.5 million euros.
