Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel is in a stable condition in intensive care after suffering a serious injury to his head and chest during a Spanish second division match on Monday at Tenerife's Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez. The 30-year-old was hurt in added time of his home fixture against Andorra following a collision with visiting goalkeeper Jesus Owono.

Tenerife won promotion back to Spain's Segunda Division in May 2026. The Madrid-born De Miguel was admitted to the University Hospital of Nuestra Senora de Candelaria, and the club said he was "stable despite the severity of his condition". Spanish media, including Marca, reported De Miguel suffered a cardiac arrest in the ambulance and was resuscitated by paramedics on the way to hospital.

Tenerife and Andorra were tied 2-2 and seven minutes into stoppage time when the incident occurred. Owono had run towards the centre circle to clear a long ball when his knee appeared to collide with De Miguel. De Miguel lay motionless on the pitch as medical staff treated him before he was taken from the field by ambulance.

The ambulance transported De Miguel from Tenerife's Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez to hospital. Players from both teams were visibly distressed, with a number of De Miguel's team-mates in tears. The referee showed Owono a straight red card and the match was subsequently abandoned.

A statement from Andorra said: "We want to send all our strength and best wishes to Jesus de Miguel after the serious incident suffered during today's match. "We hope he recovers soon. A very strong hug to the player, his family and Tenerife."
