Paraguay's top footballer Salvador Cabanas was in critical but stable condition on Monday following surgery in which doctors failed to remove a bullet lodged in his skull.

Dr. Ernesto Martinez, who was part of the surgical team, told reporters he could not say that the Paraguay striker was out of life-threatening danger, but he called his condition stable.

Cabanas, expected to lead Paraguay when the World Cup opens in June, was shot in the head in a pre-dawn attack on Monday at "Bar Bar," a popular nightspot in a well-off Mexico City neighborhood.

Mexico City Attorney General Miguel Angel Mancera, after visiting the bar, said that robbery did not appear to be the motive in the attack on the forward who plays for Mexico City club America.

"At this moment we do not think the motive was robbery because nothing was taken," Mancera told reporters at the crime scene.

America club president Michel Bauer said Cabanas was conscious when he arrived at the Mexico City hospital and was speaking as he prepared for surgery to remove a bullet lodged in the front part of his skull.

"He was a bit confused and didn't know what had happened and he was asking where they were taking him and why they were taking him there," Bauer told Mexico television Televisa.

Bauer said Cabanas' wife told him the two were preparing to leave the bar when the shooting took place in a bathroom. His wife said she found her husband on the bathroom floor.
