Former Barcelona youth player Carles Perez was hospitalized after suffering an injury from a dog bite to his genitals while walking his dog in Thermi, Thessaloniki. The event, which occurred during an attempt to separate two dogs, may require surgery, according to reports.

Perez recently joined Aris Thessaloniki on loan after a season with Getafe, where he made 27 appearances and scored three goals. His absence could significantly impact Aris’s Europa Conference League qualification efforts, having participated in their first leg against Araz-Naxçivan recently.

It remains uncertain when Perez will return, with a strong emphasis on his recovery from this unusual incident.
