(CNN) -- Paraguay international Salvador Cabanas is in a critical condition after being shot in the head in Mexico City.

The 29-year-old Club America striker was taken to a hospital intensive care unit following the incident on Sunday night.

Mexico City attorney general Miguel Angel Mancera told TV station Televisa: "We don't know the motive behind the injury. According to an initial report it was a shot from a firearm with a frontal entry point and without exit.

"The player is conscious but he has a heart problem which they're trying to stabilize. We're waiting to see what those arrested have to say. It seems that the attack happened in the bathroom of a bar."
