Salvador Cabanas is planning a comeback to football one year after he was shot in the head during an argument in a Mexican bar.

He made his declarations in an interview while attending a match between Libertad and Sporting Luqueno of the Paraguayan League.

Cabanas has already started to train with Libertad as part of his rehabilitation process. The story of Salvador Cabanas is one that has generated controversy as well as admiration.

Cabanas was part of Club America and the Paraguayan National Football Team when he was shot in the head. The bullet lodged in his occipital lobe with few people predicting a recovery.

After so much fanfare, he was transferred to Paraguay in order to continue his rehabilitation. The publicity surrounding him existed during the 2010 FIFA World  Cup.

After the World Cup, there was so much acrimony between Cabanas, Club America and their lawyers. The events surrounding the three still continue to this day.

The bullet still remains in the occipital lobe since the neurosurgeons did not want to surgically remove it.

While I am not sure if Cabanas can make a comeback in football, he deserves credit for having confidence in himself.
