"Itō is making good progress and his return looks imminent, per a report from Kicker journalist Frank Linkesch. Hiroki Itō could be back in the squad against Freiburg on Saturday. Bayern gave the Japanese defender all the time he needed to make a full recovery - and within the club, it is said that things are looking very good for him. Itō has been training with the team for two weeks [@FrankLinkesch, @kicker]"
"Notably, Manuel Neuer has been missing all week with what is described as a 'gastrointestinal infection'. Per Hau, Joshua Kimmich and Serge Gnabry are also still working individually, while Jamal Musiala, of course, is still in rehab. Will Vincent Kompany keep his Germany stars rested with a view to the upcoming Arsenal match in the Champions League next week?"
Bayern Munich return to domestic action against SC Freiburg after dropping points to Union Berlin and an international break that increased player load. Long-injured left-backs Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Itō rejoined training, with Itō making notable progress and potentially available for the Freiburg match after two weeks of team training. A public session allowed fans to attend and gather signatures and photos. Several players are unavailable or training individually: Manuel Neuer is out with a gastrointestinal infection, Joshua Kimmich and Serge Gnabry are working separately, and Jamal Musiala remains in rehab. Squad management decisions may consider the upcoming Champions League tie against Arsenal.
