Carles Pérez Hospitalized After Dog Bite in Greece

Carles Pérez, a 27-year-old winger on loan at Aris Thessaloniki from Celta Vigo, has been hospitalized after being bitten in the genitals by a dog while trying to separate his own dog from another. Pérez required six stitches for the injury and remains under medical observation, with the possibility of surgery still open. The incident will rule him out for an indefinite period, including Aris’s crucial UEFA Europa Conference League qualifier against Araz-Naxçıvan PFK, where he had been expected to start. Aris manager Marinos Ouzounidis has acknowledged Pérez's significance to the squad and is now seeking alternative options in his absence. Pérez was recently signed to be a key player following his stints with Barcelona, Roma, Celta Vigo, and Getafe. Both the club and player are now focused on his full recovery.
