A Spanish bullfighter who lost the sight in one eye and has partial facial paralysis after a horrific goring, returned to the bullring just five months after his injury.

A leading bullfighter who was gored through the head late last year returned to the ring last night in the Spanish town of Olivenza in spite of having lost the sight of one eye and being unable to chew food.

A Spanish bullfighter is recovering from a five hour operation to repair his face after a terrifying goring in the north-eastern city of Zaragoza, according to a hospital official.

Despite a big crowd of runners on the streets of Pamplona today there were no major injuries in the fourth bull run at the annual San Fermin festival.
