Former Barcelona star in ‘serious' condition in hospital after dog attack
That's according to El Chiringuito TV, amongst others, who have provided an insight into the situation.
Pérez, it is understood, attempted to break up a fight between two dogs earlier today.
Whilst pulling them apart, however, the 27-year-old was attacked and bitten in the region of his groin.
The incident culminated in Pérez being rushed to hospital, where the Spaniard's condition has been described by doctors as 'serious'.
Further updates on the situation are expected over the coming hours and days.
Pérez has for his part lined out in the colours of a number of La Liga clubs, including the aforementioned Barcelona, Celta Vigo.
The winger recently put pen to paper on a deal with Greek outfit Aris Thessaloniki, on loan for the season ahead.
We at Get Spanish Football News wish Pérez the very best in his recovery efforts.

Jaydon Blue's ankle injury has his availability for Saturday in question
Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue was injured during Thursday's practice. Blue spun to the ground awkwardly after defensive end Sam Williams grabbed Blue's facemask. He remained on the ground before taking a cart to the injury tent and later was escorted to the training room. Blue returned to the practice field in street clothes. He told Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he injured his ankle. Although Blue insisted he is fine, his availability for the preseason opener on Saturday against the Rams now is in question. Blue, a fifth-round pick, is a favorite to land a feature role on the offense after debunking questions about his work habits. Veterans Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders also are expected to be big contributors in the backfield. Tight end Jake Ferguson also left practice early after taking a shot in the back from linebacker Kenneth Murray.

L.A. Chargers Suffer Devastating Setback With Rashawn Slater's Injury
When Rashawn Slater, the Los Angeles Chargers' massive left tackle, fell in practice on Thursday the reverberation was felt on and off the field. Slater, who recently signed a four-year, $114 million contract extension which included $92 million guaranteed, sustained a season-ending knee injury when backpedaling in pass protection to take on a block from linebacker Tuli Tuipulotu. Slater tore the patella tendon in his left knee. He'll undergo surgery which derails his season and puts a dent in the Chargers' salary cap allocation, too. Only three Chargers count against the cap more than Slater's hit of $14.8 million: quarterback Justin Herbert ($37.3 million), linebacker Khalil Mack ($26.8 million) and safety Derwin James ($23.8 million). Slater, a two-time Pro Bowler and a second-team All-Pro, set the standard for his position with a $28.5 million average annual salary in the deal that ties him to the Chargers through 2029. But it's 2025 that everyone is concerned with in the Chargers camp as the key blocker to protect Herbert's blindside will watch this year's action in street clothes. Slater suffered a torn biceps in 2022 and he missed 13 games and had other minor injuries. But nothing as significant as what happened on Thursday. When Slater exited, right tackle Joe Alt, a former first-round pick like Slater, flipped over to the right side. Alt, who is coming off an outstanding rookie season and was a left tackle at Notre Dame, was replaced by veteran Trey Pipkins III. It's hard to overstate Slater's importance in a run-first, grind-it-out offense like the Chargers'. The team went about rebuilding the interior of the line in the offseason, secure in knowing that it had two stars in Slater and Alt. That remake included signing free-agent Mekhi Becton to a two-year, $20 million contract and attempting to move disappointing guard Zion Johnson to center and replacing Bradley Bozeman. But Johnson never took to the new position and is back at left guard with Bozeman at center. The Chargers were disappointed something new-and-improved didn't develop, but at least they were secure on the edges. Unfortunately that all changed during a routine blocking drill on a sizzling day in Southern California. Slater, the man expected to keep the heat off Herbert, won't play again until 2026.

Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor leaves game vs. White Sox in 3rd inning
SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor left Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox after grounding out to second base to end the third inning. There was no official word from the Mariners on why Naylor left the game. In his first at-bat against White Sox starter Shane Smith, Naylor grimaced after swinging at a high, inside fastball. He walked down the first base line and back before finishing his at-bat, which ended with a strikeout. Naylor, one of Seattle's notable trade deadline acquisitions from the Arizona Diamondbacks, is hitting .289, with 14 home runs, 65 RBIs and 21 stolen bases this season. Since joining the Mariners, the left-hander is batting .261 with three home runs and 10 stolen bases. Donovan Solano, who hadn't played in two weeks, took over at first base for Seattle when Naylor exited. ___ AP MLB: The Associated Press
