Salvador Cabanas, soccer player for Club America and the Paraguayan National Team, has left Mexico for Argentina to continue his rehabilitation treatment.

Cabanas was shot in the head at the Bar Bar in Mexico City on the 25th of January 2010. The neurosurgery team lead by Ernesto Martinez Duhart confirms Cabanas does not have any life- threatening complications and permitted the transfer.

Cabanas was accompanied by his wife, other members if his family, and the physician for Club America, Alfonso Diaz. He will be receiving treatment at the Clinica Escobar de Fleni in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Cabanas requested the transfer during an interview with Televisa.

The Clinica Escobar de Fleni is one of South America's best rehabilitative clinics and was founded by a local humanitarian, Raul Carrea. It has been compared with the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, and St Jude's Research Hospital in the United States.

While it is not known how long Cabanas will remain in the clinic.
