Posted by Mexican doctors said that Paraguayan soccer player, Salvador Cabañas, is in critical but stable condition after being shot in the head in a Mexico City nightclub bathroom on Monday night, according to the Canadian Press.
Dr. Enrique Martínez said that the Club America striker has brain swelling and that the bullet is still lodged in his head.
