Owono undecided on playing future after De Miguel's death

FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono is undecided about whether he will resume his career after Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel died following a collision in a Spanish second division match on 2 November; De Miguel passed away the following day. Owono, who has 47 caps for Equatorial Guinea, has not yet announced a decision on a potential return to football.

Owono, 25, was not selected during the most recent international window. Andorra issued a statement on his behalf on 4 November regarding his state of mind following the incident.

The goalkeeper was sent off after colliding with De Miguel during the Spanish second division match on 2 November, with the Tenerife forward passing away the following day in hospital.

Andorra manager Carles Manso said the player is spending time with his family and is "completely free to make any decision" about returning to the game.

Manso added: "What we have to do is support him in every way and be close to ​him. We will ​give him space so that he feels completely free to make ‌any decision, whether he wants to return, when, or if he does not want to return. When he feels it is appropriate and when ​he feels genuinely ready to take a ​decision ⁠like that [he will do so]."

The club’s 4 November release quoted Owono directly: he said he was experiencing "the most difficult days of my life" and added, "I feel enormous pain over the loss of Jesus. I think of him, his family, and everyone who loved him."

Andorra will make its first appearance since De Miguel's death on Saturday when they face Almeria in the Spanish second division.
