According to a report from Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich defender Hiroki Ito continues to make progress in his rehab.
However, the Bavarians are taking a very conservative approach with Ito’s return. After the Japanese defender suffered a setback two weeks ago, Bayern Munich wants to play it safe with a player, who could have a key role on the backline upon his return:
Hiroki Itō completed an individual session, including exercises with the ball, alongside rehab coach Simon Martinello who was regularly monitoring the player’s performances through a tablet. Bayern are very cautious with the Japanese defender and doing everything to prevent another setback in his rehab.
Aside of Ito, Sky Sport journalist Kerry Hau checked in with an update on Dayot Upamecano:

While the Bayern players deployed in Mainz are completing a regeneration program indoors, Dayot Upamecano and Hiroki Ito are working on their comebacks on the pitch. There is hope that Upamecano will play on Saturday against Union Berlin.

Olise works out alone
Michael Olise — allegedly — spent more time flipping the bird to a few Mainz fans than he did on the pitch Wednesday in the DFB-Pokal, so the youngster got in an individual workout:
Michael Olise also works individually today.

Ulreich, Peretz hit the pitch, while starters stay inside
Back-up goalkeepers Sven Ulreich and Daniel Peretz went outside for some training, while the rest of the team, who played significant minutes against Mainz 05, stayed inside the facility at Säbener Straße:
Sven Ulreich and Daniel Peretz are working in the back. Yesterday’s team had a unit inside.
