Paraguayan striker Salvador Cabañas is in serious condition at a Mexico City hospital after being shot in the head.Cabañas was critically wounded in the men’s room of a bar according to a Mexico City prosecutor investigating the incident. “The first report is that the bullet entered the front of his head and did not exit," Miguel Angel Mancera told Mexican television about the incident that occurred due to a suspected robbery or a fight.
Unmentioned by Mancera will be if prosecutors will look into a photo of an injured Cabañas that originated from Twitter and was later published in the Mexican press.

The 2007 South American Player of the Year received interest from English side Sunderland due to the 64 goals marked for Mexico’s Club America and for leading Paraguay to this year’s World Cup. Whether he misses the tournament remains to be seen though the shooting apparently didn’t deter the wounded star:
