Former Barcelona forward Carles Perez injured after being bitten by dog in genital area

Betting enthusiasts might consider Aris Thessaloniki's upcoming games with caution following Carles Perez's injury, as his absence could impact the team's performance.

Former Barcelona forward Carles Perez has been injured after a dog attacked him and bit his genitals. The incident happened while the Celta Vigo striker — currently on loan to Aris Thessaloniki — was walking his own dog, according to Spanish outlet Marca, and Perez was admitted to hospital afterwards, the Greek club confirmed to the publication.

The 27-year-old’s first appearance for Aris came in a Conference League qualifier against Araz-Nakhchivan a week ago after joining this summer, where the team lost but he played the whole game.

Perez left Barcelona in 2020 after 13 senior appearances, making a loan move to AS Roma permanent after coming through the Spanish club’s La Masia academy. He had a season-long loan spell at Celta Vigo in the 2022-23 campaign before making that deal permanent in 2023. The former Spain youth international was on loan at Getafe last season.

He played 30 games across La Liga and the Copa del Rey for Getafe, scoring three. Perez made 18 appearances at youth international level for Spain but has not broken into the senior side.
