Former Barcelona midfielder Carles Perez has been hospitalised in Greece after being bitten on the genitals by a dog.
The incident took place in Thermi, a suburb on the southern outskirts of Thessaloniki, while Perez was walking his dog on Tuesday morning.
During the walk, Perez’s dog was attacked by another dog and while trying to separate the two animals, the 27-year-old was bitten on the genitals.
The Spanish midfielder was taken to a private hospital in Panorama, another suburb outside Thessaloniki, after suffering a ‘deep gash’ to his genitals, which required six stitches.
Aris confirmed on Wednesday that Perez has suffered a ‘soft tissue infection’ from the dog bite.
Perez has now been ruled out of Aris’ UEFA Conference League qualifier at home to Azerbaijani side Araz-Nakhchivan on Thursday.

Speaking on Wednesday, Aris manager Marinos Ouzounidis confirmed that Perez was due to start against Araz-Nakhchivan.
‘Carles would have been in the starting line-up,’ Ouzounidis said at a press conference.
‘This incident happened but we can’t dwell on it any longer. My mind is working on alternative solutions and we have worked on them.
‘That’s why I insist that it’s important to have players with personality. So I’m interested in the group of players that I will have at my disposal, to give the most they can.’
Perez, who made his first-team debut for Barcelona in 2019, has also played for Roma, Celta and Getafe.
He joined Greek Super League side Aris on a season-long loan from Celta earlier this month.
