Mexico: Now, a Cabanas’ team mate suffers shot

CF America Mexico midfielder Juan Carlos “Torito” Silva, has suffered a gun wound only two weeks after his team mate Salvador Cabanas was shot in the head.

Club officials said on Tuesday the 21-year-old Silva was in good condition and said the gunshot wound was not life-threatening. They said the attack took place on Monday night in Mexico City in a failed attempt to steal Silva’s vehicle.

America spokesman Edwin Victoria said Silva, a midfielder, received a single gunshot wound in the buttocks, but did not offer more details surrounding the attack

The shooting comes barely a week after Cabanas was shot in the head while on a night out with his wife in the Mexican capital. The Paraguayan was gunned down at point blank range and operated on by doctors while spending five days in a coma.

The South American media has reported that although he is still in a life threatening condition, Cabanas has been able to talk with his family and expressed his hope of making the World Cup finals in South Africa. The 29 year-old was expected to spearhead the Paraguay attack in this summer’s tournament.
