Former Barcelona, Getafe and Celta Vigo forward Carles Perez was taken to hospital on Wednesday after suffering significant injuries from a dog attack. The 27-year-old recently joined Aris Salonika on loan from Celta this summer.
Various Greek outlets have covered the story, but Diario AS have now confirmed that Perez is not in critical condition, in spite of several reports claiming as such. They have confirmed information from PrimeSport explaining that Perez was walking his dog when the incident occurred.
Perez was out walking his own dog in the Thermi area of Salonika, when another dog attacked his own. The winger tried to intervene, but upon doing so received a series of injuries from the attacking dog, including severe cuts in the genital area. Perez was taken to hospital in the aftermath, and examined. He has since been returned home after surgery was ruled out, but his recovery will be closely observed in the coming days.
