Hiroki Ito is quickly getting to know the wrath of the injury gods that has felled so many other players at Bayern Munich.
While rehabbing from a metatarsal fracture, Ito finally got back on the pitch for some individual work…and promptly suffered some sort of injury to what looked like his thigh muscle per Abendzeitung journalist Victor Catalina:
Rückschlag für Hiroki Itō: Bei einer Laufübung um 10.19 Uhr ist es dem Verteidiger in den Oberschenkel gefahren, er hat sich sofort hingesetzt, musste das Training abbrechen und ist mit Simon Martinello in die Kabine gegangen. Gerade war er auch auf dem Weg in die med. Abteilung. pic.twitter.com/AGzutgaF4x

Setback for Hiroki Itō: During a running exercise at 10:19 a.m., the defender suffered a blow to his thigh. He immediately sat down, had to stop training and went to the dressing room with Simon Martinello. He was also on his way to the medical department.
Upamecano back on the pitch
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich center-back Dayot Upamecano was back on the training pitch working out with the ball:
With any luck, Upamecano will be working his way back to full health soon enough, though it remains to be seen when exactly he will make his return to the squad.
