How was his 2025/26 campaign?
It was another injury-hit season for the 27-year-old, with a broken foot forcing him out of the first three months of 2025/26. A lack of fitness and a subsequent torn muscle fibre ultimately meant he was very much in the role of back-up for the Bundesliga champions, as Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano were preferred at centre-back, and Josip Stanišić at left-back.
As a result, Ito made just 16 Bundesliga appearances for Vincent Kompany’s side, 10 of which were starts. There were also three cameo outings in the DFB Cup, all after the 86th minute, and four games in the UEFA Champions League.
