Jesus Owono Grieves After Tenerife Striker's Death
Equatorial Guinea goalkeeper Jesus Owono has publicly expressed his grief following the death of Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel, who succumbed to injuries from a collision during a Spanish second division match. Owono described these days as "the most difficult" of his life.
His club, FC Andorra, issued a statement on his behalf after the incident, which occurred on Monday, and De Miguel died on Tuesday at the age of 30. Owono acknowledged the pain of losing De Miguel and extended condolences to the striker's family.
He was absent from a voluntary training session where his teammates honored De Miguel with a minute's silence. The president of the Equatorial Guinea federation, Venancio Tomas Micha, reached out to Owono, recognizing him as an involuntary participant in a tragic event.
Additionally, Owono may face a lengthy sporting suspension and legal implications as an investigation has been launched by Spanish police. Following the incident, he deactivated his social media accounts due to online abuse.
