Former Barcelona Player Rushed To Surgery After Genitals Get Bitten By Raging Dog In Greece
The former Barcelona and current Aris Thessaloniki winger has been sidelined due to a groin injury sustained in a dog attack, as reported by Spanish media on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old Spaniard was walking his own dog when he was bitten in the genitals by another dog while trying to separate the animals. The incident resulted in a deep wound that required hospital treatment.
Perez may need surgery and has reportedly already received six stitches to close the wound.
Currently on loan in the Greek Super League from Celta Vigo, Perez was treated at a private hospital in Panorama, a suburb of Thessaloniki. He is under observation and will be taking some time off the pitch with no specified return date, missing his side's Conference League qualification match against Araz-Naxçıvan PFK.
Perez played in the Greek team's 2–1 defeat against Araz-Nakhchivan in the first leg of the second qualifying round of the Europa Conference League.
The Spaniard is aiming to rejuvenate his career in Thessaloniki following a loan deal with an option to buy. Despite his previous loan spell at Getafe, he did not secure a permanent move, and Celta Vigo has been seeking a transfer for him for several months.
The ex-Barcelona youth player has made just one appearance for his new club before being abruptly halted by the injury. Perez played the full 90 minutes in Aris' first-leg defeat against Araz-Naxçıvan.
Perez made 13 senior appearances for Barcelona before moving on loan to Serie A side Roma, where he was obligated to stay, scoring eight goals in 75 appearances as the club won the Conference League.
After two seasons, he returned to La Liga with Celta on loan, which eventually became a permanent move.

Ferrari's Leclerc stuns the McLarens to take pole for F1's Hungarian Grand Prix
Charles Leclerc snatched a surprise first pole position of the year for Ferrari at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Saturday, beating both McLarens. Leclerc punched the air in delight as he climbed out of the car after beating Oscar Piastri by 0.026 of a second and the other McLaren of Lando Norris by .041. Leclerc had consistently been the best of the rest behind the McLarens in practice but remained well off Piastri and Norris' pace. That changed in qualifying, with the help of conditions which gradually got gloomier and windier, working against the McLarens. Norris and Piastri were each about half a second slower per lap in the final part of qualifying, compared to the second segment. Still, pole came as a shock at a circuit which Leclerc had called 'by far the worst track of the season for me' on Thursday. 'What?' Leclerc exclaimed over the radio when he was told he'd qualified first. 'Honestly, I have no words. It's probably one of the best pole positions I've ever had because it's the most unexpected,' Leclerc added later. Pole position is usually a big advantage in Hungary, where overtaking is difficult, but Norris noted the chance that rain could spring some surprises for Sunday's race. 'I have no idea how it will go, but one thing for sure is that I will do absolutely everything in order to keep that first place,' said Leclerc, who's on pole for the 27th time in F1 but doesn't have the best record converting those starts into wins. He'll be seeking his ninth F1 victory Sunday. It was a stark contrast with yet another frustrating day for Lewis Hamilton in the other Ferrari. Hamilton has won the Hungarian Grand Prix a record eight times but qualified 12th as the seven-time champion's troubles in his first season with Ferrari continued. 'Every time, every time,' Hamilton told the team over the radio after he qualified outside the top 10 for the second straight race. That came after Ferrari's executive chairman John Elkann called it 'a rough season' in comments Saturday on the F1 website, and defended Ferrari's trust in team principal Fred Vasseur, whose contract extension was announced Thursday. Ferrari hasn't won a Grand Prix since Carlos Sainz, Jr.'s victory in Mexico in October, when the Spanish driver — now at Williams — also had the Italian team's last pole. Defending champion Max Verstappen was only eighth after struggling with the balance of his Red Bull, and his teammate Yuki Tsunoda was 16th. That piles more pressure on the Japanese driver, who hasn't scored a point in six races.

Howe opens up on 'complex' situation after Newcastle reject Liverpool's £110m bid for Isak: ‘Situation far from ideal'
Eddie Howe added that Swedish striker Alexander Isak, the second-highest goal-scorer in the Premier League last season, still had Newcastle United's support despite expressing his desire to leave St James Park and join Arne Slot's side. read more Advertisement Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe insists Swedish striker Alexander Isak will be welcomed back at St James Park once he returns from his training trip in Spain. Reuters Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe insisted Alexander Isak had the support of the club despite the 'complex' situation surrounding his transfer after the Magpies rejected a £110 million ($146 million) bid from defending champions Liverpool for the Swedish striker. Isak had expressed his desire to leave St James Park and join Arne Slot's side , who had won their second Premier League title and their 20th English top-flight triumph overall earlier this summer. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD However, Newcastle, the team that had finished fifth last season, had valued Isak at £150 million ($199 million), and were not in the mood to negotiate over their star performer – who had finished as the second-highest goal scorer last season with 23 strikes. 'Signing players is always complex' Speaking to reporters at Seoul where the four-time English top-flight champions are set to face fellow Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur in a friendly, Howe insisted he wanted to see Isak continue wearing the club's colours – black and white for home games – despite the recent drama. 'I was made aware of a bid yesterday and that bid was turned down, all before I'd even heard about it. People back in England are dealing with the situation. I don't know what happens next. From our perspective, we still support Alex in every way and my wish is that we see him in a Newcastle shirt again,' former Bournemouth boss Hower, who had joined Newcastle in 2021, said. 'In terms of trying to upset players and all that kind of stuff, from my perspective, we can only talk about our conduct. We try to do things in the right way. Signing players is always complex. We just try to do what we think is right. I can't talk about other clubs, that's not for me to say,' he added. Howe added that he was aware of Isak training on his own in Spainafter being left out of the club's ongoing pre-season tour. 'I know where he is, really, through the media. From that perspective, it's difficult for me to go into any kind of detail. The situation is far from ideal and is quite complex,' he added. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Isak, who had joined Newcastle from Spanish top-division club Real Sociedad on a £60 million move in 2022, is set to link up with the rest of the Newcastle squad once they're back from their Asian pre-season trip. The 25-year-old has been training with his personal team at his former club's training ground rather than with the Newcastle staff at their Benton training ground. And despite Liverpool not making a second bid for Isak after Newcastle's rejection, Isak's desire to join the Reds might get fulfilled later in the transfer window with the Magpies having expressed interest in signing Slovenian forward Benjamin Sesko, who currently plays for Bundesliga club RB Leipzig. Newcastle securing Sesko, who is also being targeted by Manchester United, for the 2025-26 season and beyond might allow them to part ways with Isak.

2.5 Years In Prison For Raul Asencio? Prosecutors Seeks Jail Term For Accused Real Madrid CB: Report
Spanish prosecutors seek a 2.5-year prison sentence for Real Madrid's Raul Asencio for distributing a minor's sex tape. Asencio denies wrongdoing. Spanish prosecutors have requested a two-and-a-half-year prison sentence for Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio, who is accused of involvement in the unauthorized distribution of a sex tape involving a minor. According to The Athletic, the charges stem from an incident in June 2023 during a holiday in the Canary Islands, where several former Real Madrid youth players were allegedly involved in filming a sexual encounter without consent and sharing the footage. Five players from Real Madrid's youth academy were vacationing at Amadores Beach Club when a sexual encounter allegedly took place between three of the players and two girls — one of whom was under 16, the legal age of consent in Spain. The footage was allegedly recorded on a mobile phone without the knowledge or consent of the victims. The tape is believed to have later circulated via WhatsApp. Although Asencio was not involved in the encounter itself, the Public Prosecutor's Office claims that he requested copies of the videos and showed them to a friend. Under Spanish law, such an action could constitute two offenses against privacy, as defined in Article 197 of the Spanish Criminal Code. Asencio, now 22, was promoted from Real Madrid Castilla (the club's B team) to the senior squad in November 2023 during a defensive injury crisis. He made 46 appearances across all competitions last season, becoming a regular member of Carlo Ancelotti's matchday squads. The investigation began after the three players allegedly involved in the recording — Ferran Ruiz, Juan Rodríguez, and Andrés García — were arrested in September 2023. Initially, Asencio was called to testify as a witness, but was later included in the Guardia Civil's (Spain's national law enforcement) investigation. At the time, Real Madrid issued a brief statement: 'A Castilla player and three Real Madrid C players have given statements to the Guardia Civil regarding a complaint about the alleged broadcasting of a private video via WhatsApp. When the club has detailed knowledge of the facts, we will take the appropriate measures." According to reports from The Athletic, both alleged victims are receiving psychological treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. The Prosecutor's Office has requested that Asencio pay €5,000 in damages to each victim, in addition to the proposed custodial sentence. The prosecution is also pursuing prison terms for the three other players involved. The case is currently under judicial review, and no trial date has been set. In response to the charges, Asencio has strongly denied any wrongdoing and emphasized the importance of the presumption of innocence. The Spaniard added that he intends to defend his position in court, should the case move forward. Sources close to the club suggest that Madrid are awaiting further legal clarification before deciding on Asencio's future at the Bernabéu. tags : la liga real madrid view comments Location : New Delhi, India, India First Published: August 02, 2025, 19:22 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
