Dog Bite To Blame For Former Barcelona Player Missing A Game In Greece

Dog Bite To Blame For Former Barcelona Player Missing A Game In Greece

NDTV4 days ago
Former Barcelona forward Carles Perez missed a game with Greek club Aris on Thursday because of a dog bite that required stitches. The 27-year-old Perez is on loan at Aris, which hosted Azerbaijani club Araz-Naxçıvan in a qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League. Two days earlier, Perez was out for a walk with his dog when there was an incident with a second dog.
'I had the misfortune of suffering a bite on the inside of my leg while trying to separate my dog from another dog during a minor and unexpected incident,' Perez, on loan from Celta Vigo, wrote on Instagram.
'The wound required stitches, which, although not serious, prevents me from being in optimal condition to compete tonight.'
Perez wrote that he was 'very sorry' he can't be on the field.
He added that he was 'recovering at home" and expected to be back with the team in a couple of days.
Thursday's game ended in a 2-2 draw. Araz-Naxçıvan had won the first leg 2-1, so it advanced on a 4-3 aggregate score.
Perez rose through Barcelona's youth system and made his La Liga debut in 2019. He later transferred to Roma and then Celta.

Dhanashree Verma drops first post after Yuzvendra Chahal confession about divorce, reveals she is spending time in Dubai

Choreographer Dhanashree Verma has finally spoken out, albeit indirectly, after her former husband and cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal's recent podcast appearance, where he opened up about their divorce. In a subtle response, Dhanashree shared a glimpse into her life, revealing she's currently spending time in Dubai. Dhanashree Verma and Yuzvendra Chahal were granted a divorce in March this year.(Instagram) Dhanashree Verma shares pics from Dubai Dhanashree gave a sneak peek into her time out in Dubai on Instagram on Monday. She shared pictures of herself devouring street food like vada pav and pani puri, taking golden hour strolls, and visiting a temple – all while soaking up the laid-back vibe. She added that her trip was high on nostalgia. Sharing the pictures, she wrote, 'Back in Dubai after what feels like a lifetime…Growing up here gave me so many core memories and seeing how much the city has evolved was both surreal and heartwarming. One of the highlights was visiting this beautiful Hindu temple—peaceful, powerful, and a reminder of how far this city has come in embracing culture and community…Grateful for the growth, the roots, and the reconnection." This is her first post after Chahal spoke about their divorce and his decision to wear the Be Your Own Sugar Daddy T-shirt. While she has not responded directly to Chahal's statements, the post hits at inner growth and reconnection. What did Yuzvendra Chahal say Chahal got candid about his personal life and his divorce from Dhanashree Verma when he joined Raj Shamani for a chat on his YouTube channel. "I think when my divorce happened, people alleged me of being a cheater. I have never cheated in my life. I am not that kind of a person. You won't find anyone more loyal than me. I think from my heart for my closed ones, always. I do not demand, I always give. When people don't know anything, but they keep blaming me, so you start thinking (otherwise)," Chahal said. Talking about his decision to wear 'Be Your Own Sugar Daddy' T-Shirt on the day of his final divorce hearing, Chahal said, 'Kyunki saamne se kuch cheez hua tha, aur mera pehle mann nahi tha. Fir saamne se kuch hua toh fir maine kaaha ab sambhaal lo, ab mujhe nahi parwah kisi ki. Maine na kisi ko abuse kra, bus mujhe message dena tha (Something happened from the other side, and I didn't initially intend to respond. But then something happened, and I thought, 'Enough is enough, now I don't care about anyone.' I didn't abuse anyone; I just wanted to convey my message).' Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree's marriage Dhanashree and Chahal got married in a low-key ceremony in Gurugram back in December 2020. The two met during the Covid-19 pandemic when Chahal asked Dhanashree for dance lessons. As per their petition, they separated in June 2022. On February 5, they filed a joint petition before the family court seeking divorce by mutual consent. They were granted a divorce in March this year. At that time, there were also murmurs that Dhanashree was seeking ₹60 crore in alimony. However, Dhanashree's family dismissed the claims by issuing a statement. The statement read, "We are deeply outraged by the baseless claims being circulated about the alimony figure. Let me be absolutely clear—no such amount has ever been asked, demanded, or even offered. There is no truth to these rumours whatsoever. It is deeply irresponsible to publish such unverified information, dragging not just the parties but also their families into unnecessary speculation. Reckless reporting like this only causes harm, and we urge the media to exercise restraint, fact-check before spreading misinformation, and be respectful of everyone's privacy."

Soha Ali Khan Recalls Mistaking Dad Tiger Pataudi's Olympic Torch Run For 'Usual Jog'

Soha Ali Khan recalled accompanying her father Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi on the Olympic torch run in 1987, thinking it was just a regular jog. Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan took a trip down memory lane and recalled a childhood memory from 1987 when she wanted to join her late father Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi on what she thought was his regular jog, which was actually an Olympic torch run. Soha took to her Instagram stories, where she re-shared a post, where Tiger Pataudi is seen holding the Olympic torch and his daughter Soha are seen running. 'I remember wanting to accompany Abba on what I thought was his usual jog and he said yes. #Olympictorch 1987," Soha captioned the post. The Olympic torch run, which is also called the Olympic torch relay, is a ceremonial event where the Olympic flame is transported from Olympia, Greece, to the host city of the Olympic Games. The tradition started at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin and symbolises a message of peace and friendship. Talking about Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, he was an Indian cricketer and a former captain of the Indian cricket team. He was appointed India's cricket captain at the age of 21. Mansoor Ali Khan, who is also the father of Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan, was the son of Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi, the last ruler of the princely state of Pataudi during the British Raj. He received the C. K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001, the highest honour bestowed by BCCI on a former player. On the work front, the 46-year-old actress, who is married to Bollywood actor and filmmaker Kunal Kemmu, was last seen in the horror drama 'Chhorii 2," where she played an impactful portrayal of Daasi Maa. Directed by Vishal Furia, the film is a sequel to the 2021 thriller Chhorii. Starring Nushrratt Bharuccha in the lead, the sequel also featured key performances by Gashmeer Mahajani and Saurabh Goyal, among others. The film, produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, and Vikram Malhotra, was released on 11 April 2025. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
