Former Argentina defender Caceres near death
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP)—A player from Argentina’s 1994 World Cup team is near death with a bullet in his head after resisting a carjacking.
Ramon Carrillo Hospital says Fernando Caceres is in grave condition. He was shot in the head early Sunday after a group of carjackers tried to steal his BMW in the Argentine capital.
The 40-year-old former defender played on the Argentine team that was eliminated in the second round of the World Cup in the U.S.
Argentina coach Diego Maradona visited his former teammate Monday. Caceres also played for Spanish team Zaragoza and Argentinos Juniors, River Plate, Boca Juniors and Independiente in Argentina.
