The Paraguayan soccer star who was shot in the head at point-blank
range in a Mexico City bar in January is to be released from a
rehab clinic this month.
Salvador Cabanas is expected to leave the Fleni Clinic on May
23. Director Lisandro Olmos said Friday that Cabanas is
experiencing vision problems but his physical recovery is nearly
complete. Surgeons had to leave a bullet fragment in his skull.
Olmos says Cabanas has no memory of the Jan. 25 shooting in
the upscale neighborhood in Mexico City. Cabanas played in the city
for Club America.
His name was left off a preliminary World Cup roster
submitted a few days ago by Paraguay. Olmos does not rule out
Cabanas playing again.
