Jesús Owono Struggles After Tenerife Striker's Death

Jesús Owono, a 25-year-old goalkeeper for FC Andorra, is struggling emotionally after the death of Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel, who collapsed following a collision with Owono during a Spanish second-division match on November 2. De Miguel, aged 30, was rushed to the hospital but died on November 3 due to cardiorespiratory arrest.
Since returning to Andorra, Owono has not resumed training and has received support from his mother, family, and former teammates. FC Andorra's owner, Gerard Piqué, is personally involved in ensuring Owono receives adequate assistance.
The club has arranged psychological support for players affected by the tragedy. Owono expressed his grief in a statement and has faced a barrage of hostile messages online, leading him to deactivate his Instagram account.
Spanish police have opened a routine investigation into De Miguel's death, which is standard procedure and does not suggest any criminal wrongdoing.
