Salvador Cabanas back in training

CF America striker Salvador Cabanas is to continuing his miraculous recovery in Argentina, having defied the odds to stage a quick recovery from a shot in the head in Mexico in January. Cabanas was Paraguay's leading scorer in the World Cup Qualifiers.

Paraguayan striker Salvador Cabanas, shot in his head last 25th Jan, is miraculously recovering at Fleni clinic in Escobar, Argentina, and hasn’t lost his faith to reach the World Cup in South Africa.

CabaƱas is back in training and is performing shooting practice with high accuracy, according to people who visited him.



Horacio Cartes, Paraguayan Football Association director, said he “seems to have advanced very well” at his recovery.

Paraguayan Coach, Argentine Gerardo Martino and doctor, Celso Fretes visited him too.

“We are all very excited. He was waiting for us a little tense, but then he relaxed. We hugged. Then we saw him doing some football and goals of ‘all colors’ against doctor Fretes (who improvised as a goalkeeper)” said humorous Cartes.

Enthusiastic and encouraged by his amazing recovery, Cabanas asked Cartersto intercede with Martino for a call up to the World Cup in South Africa.

“Arrangre that for me that with Tata (Marino’s nickname)” said the striker. “I’m at my best state”.

The Paraguay international striker was shot in a bar in Mexico, in an incident which Cabanas still doesn’t remember.
