Cabanas will remain at Angeles del Pedregal hospital in Mexico City, but has improved enough to be moved to a private room.

It is still not known if Cabanas will make a full recovery from the attack and doctors have opted not to remove the bullet from the 29-year-old's head, as they fear surgery would be too dangerous.
