Barcelona star was attacked by a dog in his genitals and could lose them.

Carles Pérez, a Spanish footballer trained in the youth academy of F.C. Barcelona, suffered an unusual and painful accident that left him hospitalized in Greece.

The Aris Thessaloniki forward was bitten by a dog in the genital area while walking through the city streets, according to local media reports.

The incident occurred while Pérez was walking with his own pet. At that moment, another unleashed dog attacked the player's animal, and in the midst of the struggle, the forward received a bite to his genitals.

The injury was severe enough to require immediate medical attention and subsequent hospitalization. 

According to the sports portal Sport, the doctors who treated the player considered surgical intervention necessary.

At this time, no specific details have been disclosed regarding the extent of the injuries or the length of time the footballer will need to remain hospitalized or away from the field due to the injuries the animal caused to his intimate parts. 

Aris Thessaloniki, his current club, issued a statement expressing its full support for the player during this difficult time. In addition, the institution did not rule out the possibility of initiating legal action against the owner of the dog responsible for the attack.

Although the moment was very painful for the athlete, social media did not hold back and posted various comments about the incident. 

"Carles Pérez seeing that he's going to be the Women's Ballon d'Or for the next 10 years", wrote a user on X. Another added with a meme:  "Carles Pérez VS Sébastien Haller competing to see who has fewer balls". 

Carles Pérez, born in Granollers, joined the Greek team last July 10 as one of the most important signings of the season. However, his official debut in the Hellenic league will have to wait until he recovers from this unusual incident.

The forward has worn the jersey of top-level European teams, including F.C. Barcelona, A.S. Roma, R.C. Celta de Vigo, and Getafe C.F., a club where he played the 2024-2025 season before joining Greek football.
